The mount is completely different... it's made of thinner steal, and it uses smaller diameter bolts (8mm vs 10mm, I think on the old ones), but it is a completely different design, so I don't know that there's any realistic difference in strength, and I believe they still fit the same size pipes. It's also a deeper dish (the edge of the dish is flush with the end of the feedhorn), which reduces (or eliminates, in my opinion, in most cases) the need for adding shielding. They're also a lot easier and faster to assemble. Overall, I like the lightweight dishes much better than the old ones... I actually didn't realize they were even still making the standard RD-5G30.
Also, the RD-5G20-LW is exactly the same as the 2' AirFiber 5X dish, except that the airFiber dish has a dual slant feedhorn instead of H/V.
