Right, both have good points and bad points. Neither of them are technically as good as most other 11ghz radios, but they're both a lot cheaper, and/or are capable of more throughput.
We have more AF-11 links than B11 links running at this point, because they're a better fit for those links, but on the links where we do have B11's, they are already pushing more data than the AF-11 is capable of. B11's certainly have some peculiarities, but there are not other 11ghz radios that can push a full gig in one direction for anywhere close to the same price (granted, if a link needs to push that much data, it's probably worth spending more money on, but that's another subject). B11's also have an SFP port, which seems to be important to some people... personally, I think the AF-11 is a better radio, but they both have their place.
