True. Financially it may turn out far better to just install multiple WAP's.
Bingo
I am looking at installing a network into a large warehouse/factory floor.

The prolem with multiple WAPS is that you may end up with a very expensive wiring exercise anyway.
May I suggest you contact companies with experience in installing this sort of system, ask them for their solution and a quote. In the long term, it may save you far more money than years of pissing around trying to make it work.
I had someone (off-list) suggest install a "matrix" of aerials (eg 4) and run them all back to a header-amp with one output to the AP. Not sure that would work, and may be overkill anyway.
Perhaps someone can correct me, but I understood from my physics that four separate aerials all pumping out the same signal would cause interference with each other.
