I sent you pricing in an IM. 
mrbueno, ghmorris, John Galt Thanks for the input.... It's easier to add features now then after the fact.
Caleb; Yes, that's the new 5GXi board. That's why it took so long to get it released, wanted it to be SR9 ready first.
As for the 12dB question, the first units released will be N-Female bulkhead equipped so your antenna choice is not limited what so ever. You can't please all the people all the time but that will give us time to evaluate the most popular dB range of the CPE panel that will work for most installs.
I wouldn't expect anything higher then 12dB though. To stay symmetrical so you can change polarities easily your already into 220+ sq. inches of wind load area and that requires thicker backplanes, thicker radio compartments and heavy duty mounting hardware which all equates to more $$$.
To keep your cost to a minimum and have the most versatility an N-Female bulkhead version will please more buyers out of the box. When you do 900MHz you do mostly yagis for your short client links and spend only what's necessary to make a solid connection. A 9dB Yagi will cost you half what a 9dB panel will and your still under 20". To do a 15dB grid you’re into 1000+ sq. inches of wire.
My next priority is to see how clean the 700mW boosted radio is. I will post some Spectrum Analyzer graphs when I get time in the lab to play.
