I don't have any suggestions for a unit for you but two things I'd
keep in mind:

Dual tec units mounted in proximty to one another can constantly cause
the microwave portion to be in alarm state. And two, microwave used in
the proximity of large metal objects can be problimatical. You just
might be better off with some of the quad outdoor PIR's such a Crow
mfgs.

Another thing, although not normally done, I've been successful in
mounting wall mount motion detectors on the ceiling. You'd probably
have to use more of them but overlap wouldn't be a problem and you
just might be able to get better coverage.
