I´d rather use VP470 120degrees antennas from Swedish Antennaspecialist se
link below. Very nice diagrams.
We have used them for 3 years now and they are excellent.
We also monted them on placec from 10m houses to 125 m towers and we havent
downtilted them at all. 
At some sites we don´t use more than 2 vp´s and mount them together with an
antenna splitter (lose 3db) but works nice if 8db round has range enough. 
On sides of vp we lose maybe 3-5 db but at front we approve 3-5 db. Cheap
way to improve sites. If you may loose some db´s at sides.
They also produce a bigger vp called VP870 which need slight downtilt
because it doesnt have that wide angel , but more db.

I am really green with antenna patterns so I wanted to ask those on the list
with more knowledge/experience than me.

I am replacing an 8db omni with three 120 degree 13db sector antennas. It's
a 135 foot tower and we have customers within 150 feet of the base.  We have
been pleased with the coverage of the omni, just needing to expand for
growth.

>From the patterns of the omni and the new sectors, it looks to me like we
should mount the sectors without any downtilt or uptilt.  Would you agree?
The link below shows the two patterns.
