Correction to my earlier post:

The dipole factor means, for an antenna whose size is held constant as measured by wavelength, signal strength will vary inversely as a function of the freqency. (Just hope I got it right this time!)

Actually the dish would probably have to be smaller. Keeping it the same size as the current dishes would raise the gain and make pointing the dish more difficult. But that’s a trade off. More gain is always better.
