We like redundant when it's too much trouble or logistics to quickly repair one link. A redundant link is good when the problem is 260' up a tower that's a 90 minute drive away. Usually I have the spare link turned off in the AP to conserve spectrum. We are often tight on spectrum for 5.8ghz stuff and don't have enough spare spectrum to have 2 links going at the same time.
