Josh, If I remember correctly doesnt the EPMP have some really low legal TX power on 5150-5250 though? Even though the rules allow for higher EIRP in that band? I think that was done to make the EPMP pass the strict OOBE requirements for 5150-5250. I wonder if the 450i is able to run higher power in that band because of better components? If so that would be worth the price difference to some...
