There's nothing wrong with slant. In a noisy environment, it's probably
more useful if only to keep the SNR on the two paths balanced.
For us, I'm not sure which way we're going to go at this point. We have
smart meters coming in 2017 so the band is about to be destroyed worse
than it already is. Might just look into TVWS instead. End up cheaper in
the long run if we were to do that instead of deploying more 900 and
then basically have to shit-can all of it in a year and a half.

Seeing as everything is connectorized at this point, I guess there's
not really anything stopping us from using h/v antennas. Of course
that's still doesn't give us many options... Ubnt and itelite are
about the only dual pol 900 antennas I can think of.

I would rather have the style we're used to: MCX to N-male
pigtails coming out of the bottom of the case. However, if you saw
their dual-slant yagi which has two RP-SMA connectors on it and a
provision for mounting the SM to the back of it, I can see why
they're coming out of the top. The folded dipoles do not have a
radome. They will ice up and be worthless. Again, I would much
rather have an integrated panel.
Their choice to do dual-slant.. we'll see how that goes. Makes all
existing antennas obsolete. I'm a little disappointed since it'll
be 10x as hard to convert a 4x90 FSK site.
The -6dB 65 degree sectors drive me nuts. There's 26MHz to play
with and you can count on the top being trashed, then cordless
phones and baby monitors all throughout. There's no way in hell we
could ever use six sectors at a site. 90 degree sectors allows you
to move around in the band a little bit. So I hope they come up
with some 90's.

Is the design of the module final?
I'd rather see integrated cables or those pesky RF connectors
underneath a cover to avoid water.
Will Cambium be including RF cables with each SM?
Also, the specs say 100M throughput in a 20MHz channel. What is
the throughput running in 1x or 2x?
450 + ePMP love child.
