Depending on the cost of whatever sector you are looking at, I think the
extra cash for the third antenna and radio would offset the amount of
aggravation.  Take it from someone who is "cheap", just spend the extra
cash.  Been there, done that, have less hair over it.  (That's why I wear a
hat)

Honestly, I doubt the quality of a 120 degree sector that will give you 180
degree coverage.  I would hope your at -6dB  or -8dB at that point.

For instance... check out this sector... its -6dB off at 180 degrees

So your 12dBi sector is now a 6dBi sector...
