as a general rule, you will gain only a single `S` point for each doubling of power, so for instance you`re pushing 1W out, you`ll only get 3db gain (3`s` points) for pushing 4W, perhaps you may be better with a directional beam like a Yagi or Cantenna (depending on the frequency you`re thinking of of course).
The antenna gain solution is much better because you dont need to switch the amplifier from transmit to receive. Being passive, antenna gain is more like actually reducing the range. If the link is line of sight (sometimes called R-squared propagation) you should get a doubling of range for each 6dB antenna gain you put in there.
