If you have the spectrum. We have tried several links using a "full
boat" B11 configuration, and have been unable to coordinate a single
one. Even in places where no other 11 GHz links are nearby.

Yeah, that's the thing... there are several options that can do
~650Mbps for about the same cost as a B11 (or significantly less, with
the AF11FX), but to get more than that gets expensive pretty quickly.
That's where I see the B11 as a good fit... it works in those places
where you need lots of bandwidth, but can't justify spending $10k+ on
a link.

We had a Mimosa B11 link that was just a total PITA. Poor
throughput, half duplex, losing the link, etc. We replaced it with
an AF11X and it's running 650/650 full duplex, no drops. So maybe
the B11 is a good product, but we won't buy any more.

Matthew, what are you talking about, “not as stable”. I’ve got
several links up, one at 50 miles, that runs multiple hotels and
food venues, most of which have VoIP and I’ve had zero issues for
over a year.

Lumina link
B11's are going to get you the most capacity for the least amount
of money, but don't expect them to be as stable as the SAF link.
I've been pretty happy with our AF-11FX link, but you're only
going to get around double the capacity you have now, and I don't
know if there's currently a way to do multiples on one dish... it
might make more sense to do like Lewis suggested and add a second
Lumina.
There are lots of options for higher capacity licensed links, but
they start to get pricey.
You could probably get Chuck to make you some adapters to hook up
just about anything to the SAF dishes.

We have a 4 year old Lumina link from our core, 12.9 miles, 11Ghz
with 3ft dishes on each end, that doesn’t have enough BW for us
long term, as we are going to do another hop from there (7.3
miles), then FTTH.
I get around 270Mbit from it, and we already use 120Mit pretty
consistently and if another tower OSPFs to it, more than that.
Sooo, I am looking for alternatives. Its mainly one-way traffic
of course, so a solution that favored that would be acceptable.
Cost is a factor of course, as I also have a “parallel path” a
few miles south to do the same on very soon. Something that
could use the same dishes from the SAF would be good also.
I have some undeployed Mimosa B11’s that we bought for a project
and are still waiting on some tower rights to get settled. I
could use those, or maybe AF-11X or multiples thereof. I might
as well plan for the future since this is a “main artery” link.
We have sufficient 11 Ghz channels available to license.
Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated !
