It mostly depends on how much gain you're adding.  like the post you
linked said.. the APs come with very crappy 2dbi antennas.. upgrading
to 5dbi isn't too much of a problem because it is still a very wide
signal.  if you go up to 9dbi, you start to flatten out so that if you
make both of the AP's antennas vertical, you may have floor to floor
problems, but it won't be too bad.  With a 15dbi omni (I've used for
outdoor links) you're talking maybe 10 degree signal width along the
antenna plane, but you can connect a mile away with a good directional
dish.
