Per Mike? Ettus the flex1800 and flex900 only differ in the 902-928MHz
filter on the 900MHz board and its not there on the 1800.  Firmware is
100% compatible and if you take a 1800 board and reflash it, its a 900
without the filter and no soldering.

He recommends you get the 1800 boards and reflash them for obvious
reasons.

what you got from me.
