If I have two omni antennas both transmitting at 2.4GHz but, one with

I agree. Do NOT even consider paying for Powercode unless you intend to
integrate with the BMU (bandwidth) management. That's where the real
power is, though we're having problems still, with about 5 percent of
our customers (those who have remote subnets, like a /30 or /29 or
/24). Also
$800/mo buys you 10 hours of Freeside programming a month, and 30%
discount beyond that...

Bandwidth throttling does not work with remote subnets. We have to put
in Mikrotik queues for any customer who has a remote subnet. Also
delinquent customers do not get shut off if they are using a remote subnet.

The problem I have with Radius is that you have no way to shut them

Normis says PPPoE doesn't support CoA, only PoD.. So you can do it
with PoD I guess (which is new to me). How many devices support this?
Seems it could be done from the server, but that's as much effort as
just severing the pppoe session.

Wouldn't it be up the the NAS (e.g. your MT PPPoE server) to support it?
But yes, you could probably script something to remove the session
directly on the NAS in the same number of lines of code as you could
