Well, if we're talking about the high power model of the PTP820, I don't think there are a lot of other radios that can hit that kind of power levels, and if there are, they probably aren't any cheaper. For the lower end models, most of the brands that I priced were within a few thousand of each other for a full blown XPIC link that'll do around 1.2gbps. I'd say the main advantage of Cambium is that you know what you're getting. Some of the newer options like Bridgewave don't have much of a proven track record, at this point. Aviat is a bit different, since they took the approach of being more of a self-service, direct sale model to get the price down.
One of the big advantages that Bridgewave has (and I think Aviat has the same capability), is that you can run two 80mhz channels on a single transceiver radio, which means you can get the same capacity for much cheaper, but that depends on being able to license two (I think adjacent) channels in the same polarity, so I'm not sure how realistic that is... but if the channels are available, you can get a ~1.2gbps link for under $10k.
