Assuming you can get 40mhz of 5ghz spectrum and not need it anymore, MT is great and it's cheap. Finding that 40mhz is your major concern.
I am running two backhauls, each with two pairs of radios (that's 40mhz of spectrum) and they're 99% awesome. Don't use the 532/333 (433ah IMO) or dual nstreme (use Butch's pseudo fdx OSPF) and you'll get that .999%.
