Ah, but the narrow beamwidth helps eliminate reception of signals that
might otherwise interfere.
A higher gain antenna is generally preferable in the RF world to an amp.
Any active electronic circuit will introduce noise of it's own.
Antennas are passive components and therefore introduce no new noise
into the signal. In the case of an amp, noise will be introduced and
added to the amplified noise. The amount of additional noise may be
small, but it is there, none the less. This additional noise might be
enough to bury a weak signal that you would be able to receive with a
larger antenna.
I was playing with microwave long before wireless broadband was anywhere
close to being a neat toy, let alone a reality. Your best choice is to
learn to aim the higher gain dish, panel, or whatever. No, this is not
the easiest choice, but it is the best one.
Amps are certainly a double edged sword. They are necessary in some
cases, but can cause problems in other cases.

Actually I was posing the question that would be asked and answered it.
Higher gain antennas are "most" of the time not preferrable because of
the beamwidth characteristics.
