450b is more like 23 dBi, but higher xmt power for what that's worth. Retro would be 450b electronics though, so same xmt power.
450b has that weird interaction with roofs that Cambium wrote an app note about. I still occasionally want to use an old style SM with reflector, but I only have a handful left. It's like Seinfeld and the sponge-worthy episode. I found one today at the shop that I had set aside because when we retrieved it from a customer's house, he had sprayed his house red and didn't mask off the SM. But now I'm going to figure out how to get the paint off. Cambium has made some improvements to the mechanical design of the 450b, I still have a devil of a time getting the radomes on, and it's still a pain in the but to swap one from right hand mount to left hand after it's all assembled.

I think the idea with the retro is a quick upgrade to existing reflector dishes. If you're doing a new install the 450b has 25dbi gain in a smaller package than the reflector. Maybe I'm wrong.
