I can attest to it. Some customers who were fringe at 2x leapt to 6x modulation, at least one went from 2x to 8x. 450 AP @ 40 degree sector -> 450M AP.

The 450m also has 5-6 dB better uplink sensitivity. When you add the uplink beamforming gains to this, you'll see uplink modulation improvements in nearly all the SMs on the sector. Others can chime in with their experiences, but there's enough evidence of this, that I am confident in it.
