The Cambium dual pol Yagi isn’t that expensive, it is dual slant, it has a snap-in bracket to hold the SM, and it has SMA pigtails just right for connecting to the SM (including slide-over boots).
Your existing Yagis may be higher gain, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to better 900 MHz performance, plus it likely means exceeding FCC legal EIRP. I would get one of the Cambium Yagis to play with before you go to all that trouble. Unless you are thinking the spatial diversity of 2 antennas will help you. The Cambium Yagi is actually pretty slick, you take it out of the box, snap on the SM, connect the pigtails, slide down the boots, and the only real assembly required is to attach the U-bolts. The worst complaints I can think of are the U-bolts are hefty enough you could easily crush a J-pipe if you don’t pay attention, and apparently they are currently in short supply. Oh, and it’s a Yagi, but your alternative is 2 Yagis, so apparently you don’t mind that.

We have hundreds of old M2 Yagi’s left from our old canopy 900 days. Could we use 2 per 450 install, one vertical and one horizontal? How far apart would they need to be?
