Measured very roughly, when the dimensions of the system are accurately measured the results will be different

Thats the basic grid - 17.3 dBi   That's double grid: 19.8dBi   option B -  it does not work: 16.9dBi     conclusion: doubling the reflector area gives ~~~~ 2.5dBi or more of the gain.   I will show real pictures later, will be mechanically difficult. I think I can get a few dB more by improving the feed.
