I don't know that's true.  With an omni or a wide beam you will only pick up
the loudest stations with little discrimination of position.  With a tighter
lobe you will have less frequency conflict and more gain and thus pick many
more stations.

BTW, if OP is looking for a cheap solution, I've purchased USB 802.11bg
devices integrated 10dbi patch antennas at Fry's for $10-$20 in the past,
and you could certainly run several at once... having multiple offset lobes
will let you hear beacons that would otherwise be drowned out by others on
the same frequency...
