If you're using a grid for a primary backhaul I hope you don't get ice storms in NZ.
If it were me I'd rather use a good dual pol panel (like ARC) than any grid antenna. You should expect a lot more through put in using dual pol, though as you said the signal levels will be 3db down on both chains. What's the signal like now with the grids?
