Solid AP, but 5Ghz could be better

This review is from: Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO-US 802.11AC, 3x3 MIMO technology, 1300 Mbps 5 GHz POE+ Outdoor Managed Wireless Access Point
Pros:
This access point is very reliable.
The management software is very good.
Exceptional 2.4Ghz performance.
Range meets my needs on 2.4Ghz band.
Advanced features like Band Steering are nice.
Good price for the features and quality.
The management software supports making maps and RF scans. It looks like it would be very easy to manage a large number of these.
Cons:
The 5ghz band doesn't penetrate walls or ceilings very well, and unless you're in the same room as the access point, you're going to get speeds that are comparable to the 2.4Ghz band. The 5Ghz signal is so much weaker than the 2.4Ghz band, that the band steering sends most of the clients to the 2.4Ghz band even though they support 5Ghz. There's no other devices nearby operating on the 5Ghz band (RF scan feature is neat, btw). This means you aren't going to be able to get much better than 100MB/s without putting a lot of these in. Previously, I was using a consumer router installed in the exact same location and had better speeds and signal strength on the 5Ghz band.
There's no option to not use PoE, but it does come with an injector in case you don't already have PoE set up... so not a big deal.
Overall Review:
I bought this for my house. I would feel comfortable installing these in an office building, but maybe they are not the best thing for a home office user with demands for high bandwidth or a high density application. (note that there is a high density version of this AP that would be better suited to for high density applications)
