This, respectfully, is a view centered on limited experience. Discussing range in exclusion of product and only as a function of frequency, is, well, wrong. Lots of other things come in to play, from power to specs. The 320 beats the 450 in NLOS for reasons explained by basic math, better power and sensitivity, for example. For the same reason, we beat both.
Second, re "WiMAX" being inconsistent, I'll bet you've never used real WiMAX Mark. the 320 and Purewave were BOTH proprietary spins on WiMAX. They were no more WiMAX than UBNT is straight Wi-Fi. There were many BreezeMAX WiMAX users who experienced rock solid consistency.

Some NLOS capabilities but nothing amazing. 320 (and all WIMAX) was in my experience unpredictable. It would work in some places that seemed impossible and not work in others that absolutely should have been fine. 450 3.65 is more predictable - you can usually look at what is in the way and say 'yeah - that should work'. I put a 450 3.65 AP up right next to a 320 AP and tried to swap all the customers. Some worked, some didn't. At this point I'm waiting for summer and all the trees before trying to figure out what to do about the customers I can't swap over.
