Yes, absolutely agreed, just as much as people who believe the "up to 200 km" claims on Ubiquiti marketing materials, they will be disappointed with reality vs. marketing material claims from 80 GHz PTP vendors. When it gets down to the level of sales engineers who can predict nines of uptimes for a given link in a specific metro area, real world maximum link distances are much more realistic.
