Portability is one thing to consider. He wants to use it as a client from his truck to open networks. I tried using the NS2 for the same reason but it was a pain in the butt due to the size and the plastic pipe mount stand offs on the rear of the NS2. I suppose if you could make up a magnetic mount with a short mast to put the thing on it would be better.
My wife......... Went to Mallorca Spain this past August to visit her mother. Wanted to take a NS2 with her so that she could pick up open networks while there. (Mom is over 80 and has no want for internet) I say, take a Loco instead, why ya want to lug a bulky NS2 all the way to Spain? But no, female... She takes a NS2. She conceded when she returned that the Loco was the better option. Too bulky for taking from place to place. (Airport security was curious about that thing, by the way) The bonus is that she never removed the Cat5 patch cable between uses, just wound it up and put it away. After a couple of days it no longer worked, she somehow caused an open in the Cat5 where it enters the plastic cover on the NS2 from bending it at too sharp of an angle. As a result, she spent a month paying for internet time at cafes. I was right for once.

I'd be afraid to lose 6dbm and 2dbi...that's nearly 3 times the power!
