NOTE: This will be a replacement for two T1s for each site connecting back to 
the main one, of which one is fractional, with 6-10 channels for voice. I am 
planning on leaving one "land" T1 per remote site, as a backup for the 
wireless.
DISCLAIMER: I am totally unfamiliar with the Canopy system - which, based on 
my brief reading, seems to also conflict with some of my knowledge of WiFi 
(as far as bandwidth as a function of number of systems connected - the way I 
understand it now)

Yes - planning for something like a 75%-25% ratio to voice (75% data)

I am looking into main site and seven SMs (is this the right term?!?), on the 
2.4 GHz solution (presumably 20 Mbps on paper, 13 MBps in reality - as far as 
the system being advertised by our vendor), i.e. main site communicating 13 
Mbps up+down, to each one of the seven sites.

Land lines (if I correctly understand backhaul as the connection from the 
network to the Internet) from the main site - so every site communicates 
through the main one via the Canopy system, then onto the internet via 
DS3-type connections ... or am I misunderstanding the question?!?
