Probably worth getting a spectrum analyzer that has 900 in its range, and a 900 yagi, before spending the $2700+ on a 450i 900 AP and antenna.
For the original poster's problem I would try, if possible, moving up to 3' dishes on both ends, and ac based radios. And using a 10 MHz channel. Might have a better chance of getting a signal like -61 (not -71) and through "some" trees.
