Yeah, there's that too... but whether or not you'll get distortion depends
on the specific radio and on the power levels that we're talking about. If
you're talking about 16dbm vs 20dbm, it's probably not going to make a
difference to most radios, but 26dbm vs 30dbm is another story,

Yeah... you'll lose 4db on the AP's RX side, but in some cases the the CPE
TX power can be increased to compensate, so actual performance should be
pretty much the same.

The other issue is the distortion of the transmitter at the
higher power. Amp output is linear through a range of power
output, and when you get to the edges of the power envelope, they
can start to distort.

You also assuming the CPE is in the main lobe (and that lobe shape isn't
different between the sectors).
Antenna Gain > TX Power Gain. Not only because it is bi-directional but
there are plenty of benefits to increasing antenna gain and not TX power.
But as Adam said... a dB is a dB

A db is a db, but an antenna works in both directions and tx power only
works in the tx direction.
So they'll perform the same in one direction only.
