The main reason higher gain antennas on a link are desirable is to narrow the beam width so that you don't pick up as much or transmit as much interference to/from undesired stations. Horizontal polarization as mentioned also helps reduce the interference problems.

I was told (on this group) that my 8-elements was too much.
