From personal experience I can tell you that you will be very happy
when you make the switch. I just replaced three Mikrotik BH/AP units,
pings went from their rather wild 30-120ms swings to a steady 15ms no
matter what time. Just be ready for three things, you can't put
usernames in the ACL like Mikrotik, there is less routing because UBNT
expects filtering to be done in your router before their equipment, and
it will never go down because it's just a transparent bridge so traffic
that would have overwhelmed Mikrotik equipment and crashed the LAN port
won't happen on Ubiquity. Oh and you're right, I've found that if you
use dual-polarity you can't mix that with non-dual and connections with
non-, its far better to have all Airmax running rather than a mix, this
means replacing CPE so that all customers on that tower are the same
equipment, spendy (relative to UBNT's low cost) but worth it.

All my APs are Mikrotik. My CPE’s are a mix of Tranzeo and UBNT. I
have a AP with 58 Clients on it and starting to get complaints about
slowdowns. They are all setup 10 MHz channel 802.11g. This is a
tower that due to contractual issues I cannot add anymore equipment.
So I am considering taking down the Mikrotik and 120 degree sector and
putting up a UBNT Rocket and Airmax 120 sector. It will take time to
physically switch all my clients to new UBNT Airmax equipment but
would like to get it done before the snow flies.
Has anyone down this? Success? I know I cannot turn on Airmax till
everyone is on the UBNT with that capability but does it work fine
till you get it on?
