It might be cheaper to go with a newer radio that can do 80mhz channels... probably mostly depending on what the value of the Lumina link is to you after you take it down. For SAF, I think that would be an Integra-W. If I remember correctly, you should get somewhere around 650Mbps out of a single 80mhz channel.
There are some other options for non-Mimosa 80mhz radios that are probably cheaper than SAF, but I don't know how well they compare as far as quality goes.
