Yeah, I'm aware of the differences between 60ghz and 70/80ghz... I'm assuming that it will work (according to Siklu's link budget calculator, I should be able to get 99.999% availability). The thing I'm wondering about now is if 60ghz will work with the new Ignitenet gear. I'm assuming I would have some rain fade issues if it did work, but I might be able to deal with that by putting up 24ghz links in parallel... but whether or not messing around with all that instead of just going with 80ghz and being done with it is another matter.
