Gain comes from coverage area.....
When comparing them make sure that they have the same horizontal AND
vertical coverage zones....
Maybe this will help:

Subject: [WISPA] Horizontal vs. Vertical
Why are horizontal antenna some times fewer db gain than vertical?
I'm planning for a new tower and the MTI antennas have a 4 db difference
between polarizations. I always thought horizontal had better propagation
characteristics, but is it enough to make up for the 4 db lower antenna
gain?
