Sounds fine to me but unless there's a reason why you want the smaller gain antennas I would go with a pair of 24dBi parabolics like Andrew/Conifer. My reasoning for this is if you can spare the extra few bucks why not have the larger fade margin. The other benefit in using the higher gain antennas is your beam width will be narrower and your AP/bridge will be listening to less noise. Your link will also be less "visible" to prying eyes since you're not spreading your signal across 5-15 degrees in both directions. The only draw back is that it will be a bit harder to aim but for a 2mail link this shouldn't make a difference.
