That MARS 19 dBi antenna 12x12 inch looks good, price not bad considering the 
nice mount.  Also a 14 dBi 8x8 inch model.

I also see from the pictures that the L-Com mount can be attached to the 
antenna at 45 degrees, so that would be an option as well.  But MARS would seem 
to win out due to the articulating diecast mount.

We use a mars antenna. It is technically a v/h pol but has flexible mounting to 
have it sit on a 45 slant. Field testing showed almost identical performance to 
the expensive mti.

That is exactly my current need.  Actually through a couple trees, didn’t plan 
on using this AP for NLOS, but customer bought house currently on 900 and wants 
much higher speed and is only 1/4 mile from AP.  It works OK with a bare SM but 
due to the high plan he wants, I want to get 8X if possible.

As you say, I’m hoping a small panel would be better than a bare SM or a 
reflector dish.

That would be nice for doing some nLOS shots thru a tree branch where a dish is 
to focused and a bare sm doesn't have enough gain.

  I think there was a thread about 3.65 dual slant panels for PMP450 SMs, but I 
don't remember anyone being able to recommend anything, and I don't see 
anything out there except maybe something real expensive from MTI.

  I don't have a problem using a dish if I need the gain, just wondering if 
there is something more like 12x12 inches and 14-16 dBi.
