I'm not sure anybody would and I don't understand your point. You know these fixtures don't expire right? You don't have to buy a new one every time one comes out.

3 parallel or 4 perpendicular. 3 would be enough but if 4 is in the budget then that's what I would recommend especially since you're running 8 radions @ 75%, 3 Mitras simply won't match that much...
