Darn, wish I knew that before we put this one up. I really should have put up at least 3 sectors to handle the 5 people attached to it. Silly me.

And has anyone used either of them? My experience with 5 GHz dual pol omnis has been disappointing, I'm wondering if these bigger, more expensive omnis deliver better performance. 11 dBi isn't much if you can lose 3-5 dB at certain azimuths, another few dB depending on frequency, and another 3 dB at zero elevation due to 4 degrees electrical downtilt with an 8 degree beamwidth. For $600+ and 6 inches diameter, I'd expect it to wash and wax my car.
