Force110 ptp has a strong metal case. The antennas are better than the Powerbeam 400 to begin with. You could definitely get away with regular Force110 radios if you want.
Personally I'd spring for the extra bucks and put on the force110ptp. It's the heavy duty GPS radio but super cheap. It's a backhaul, don't try and save a few bucks or it costs you in the long run. IMO the Jirous dishes aren't worth the mechanical disaster but I haven't touched them myself.
