The Lumina can only do 56mhz... if that's what you're using, it's all you'll get out of it. I think you'd have to go to the Integra to get the full 80mhz with SAF.
There are some pretty cheap radios out there now though that can use a full 80mhz. If I remember right, Alcoma and Cablefree both will sell links for somewhere around $4k that will do about 650Mbps on an 80mhz channel... but I have no experience with either one, other than that I got pricing from them both at one point. I think there are some others out there for similar prices as well.
