we used a mini all summer last year with it on the dash of the superc we used. and on a tripod when still. worked great. i have a v3 at home and a v2 at our cabin. the mini was plenty fast. we traveled all the way to the artic ocean and the last 550 miles in the car following a buddy who had his mini on his roof of his jeep and we could get the signal in our honda behind him....ha

if i was going to permanently mount it to the roof i would likely do the full sized dish, but i am not sure it makes any difference. i use lots of bandwidth and the mini worked fine.

one curious thing was that in super congested areas ( in our case outside of anchorage alaska), it throttled it down about 2/3 of the time to 1-3m down on my roam plan. evidently anchorage area is the worst for that. the people whose off grid ranch we were staying at had a full sized permanent dish and it was full speed.
