Take into account the 24-25dBm Tx power on a 2.4 FSK AP vs 22dBm on a
2.4 450 AP. And you'll probably get a better pattern on a sector vs
omni. A V-pol omni doesn't typically have a horrible pattern though.
Except for vertical beamwidth. Then you play with electronic downtilt
models, etc. So it's probably moot as far as Rx power levels go between
the two.
We get OK penetration on the 2.4 450 sector we have up. Not so much the
noise at the tower as it is at the SMs. We're going to get rid of it
eventually along with all of the other 2.4 shit. It's a dead band just
like 900 to us now.

Omni to a sector, of course. You're probably getting more than 2 db
unless it was a bonkers big omni and super small sector.

I have moved from pmp100 to 450 on 2.4ghz. Didn't do a cluster
though. Went from a 2.4FSK on a 12db Omni to a two 450 sectors
from KP 120 beam width (think 14db) . Was able to hook up every
single customer I has on the FSK to the 450 and some were
near-LOS. The 450 in 2.4ghz actually has impressively decent nLOS.
I think its a lot better than the 3.65 for NLOS. ( I have used all
the 450 frequency bands except 900)
If you thinking about going 450 in 2.4 and you already have FSK up
on 2.4 and nothing abmormal with your noise floor then do it.
You'll love it. The 450 is actually better because you can run
10-mhz channels to get around some of the noise in 2.4 vs the FSK
which was stuck at 20mhz

So has anyone moved a PMP100 2.4 cluster too PMP450 2.4 and
how did
that go? With PMP100 in 2.4 we do pretty good on near LOS
connections. Only deployed PMP450 in 3.6 and 5ghz so far though.
