Default 15dBi Omni-Antenna

I'm thinking of buying a 12-15dBi Omni-Antenna to replace a 9dBi one I have at present. What are available in New Zealand at a reasonable price? I have seen the ones at Go Wireless, are there any others around? I am able to buy this one:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...px?id=65226870 for $169. Is it a good brand/buy? I was thinking of making a waveguide until I realised it has horizontal polarization and I have a omni at the other end of the link (and want to keep it). Any help would be great.

They work great; I have a 15dBi one from Go Wireless. I think the construction quality of Pacific Wireless omnis is better but they are also a lot more expensive. They are just quite long so make sure you mount them well to stop the wind thrasing them. Also remember the higher gain omnis have less vertical spread, although in most cases this shouldn't be a problem.

if you need the distance and can afford a 15dBi then go for it. other wise a 12dbI should do for most applucations
