Do you remember what the connectorized 450b looked like? SMA connectors on top like the 900 MHz SM? N pigtails out bottom like the old one? Twistport adapter?
I realize the pigtails out the bottom were not optimal, but KPP was nice enough to build a dish with a place to mount the SM where the pigtails dressed just perfect. Also putting coax connectors on the top is not optimal from a drip loop perspective and SMA connectors are a pain to waterproof unless you believe in the silicone boots which aren’t conducive to third party or custom length coax jumpers.

Not sure that’s actually different - until I can buy it, it’s pretty much in “we are considering it” phase. Thing is, 5 GHz 450 SMs took a step back with the 450b, we no longer have a connectorized SM or one that we can use with a reflector dish, and many of us have encountered performance problems with the integrated antenna in the 450b high gain. And even if we acquire more of the EOL 450 SMs, they lack the CPU, triband capability, and xmt power of the 450b. Back on topic to the 450i Lite AP, we have some of the old 450 Lite APs. If we haven’t already applied a key to make them into Full APs, I generally prefer to replace them with a 450i AP. It’s just so confusing having a mix of 24V and 48V powering, Canopy Sync and Cambium Sync, plus the 450i has a more capable CPU. So you could look at that as an advantage of the Lite, you can upgrade the HW in the future instead of buying an upgrade key.

To me that just shouts of going back to license keys. If I can buy it for X, but I can upgrade it to Y with a license key - that model just never made sense to me. I literally have all he hardware. There’s no additional cost. You’re just artificially crippling the unit. If the hardware can be sold for the price of the LITE and still make a profit, why is the key needed to unlock features?
