Thanks Dan, I actually will be getting the 19s. I was just wondering about the narrower beam. And, I may be asked to add 2 more APs to this network, and I figured if I had a wider beam, I can keep the same primary antenna. But since this is a area where there is a LOT of rain, I definately need the fade margin...
