There isn't a good antenna option that's any less gain than the 12dbi yagis at this point anyway... there are some 10db panels out there, but nothing that's going to be practical to use with the 450i, so yes, yagis are necessary (but I'm sure there will eventually be 12ish-dbi panels available that should work just as well).
