The following also looks interesting with detachable antennas and gigabit lan, but the cost goes high:

They look good. Still, they cost almost twice as much as the c50 around here.

The mini seems to fit well in a weather box, but not the other one.
I wonder if there is some way one can fold or hack the antennas
