True - Mimosa does appear to have a power advantage at the bottom end of the band. With a 20mhz channel, the B5 will let me go down to 5170mhz and 17dBm tx power (which is consistent across the whole band). ePMP appears to be able to do 20dBm across the whole band, but it will only go down to 5180mhz on a 20mhz channel.
AF5x is more complicated, and seems to be tied to antenna gain more than the others... ranging from 37dBm EIRP at the bottom end of the band to 49dBm EIRP at the top end.
