Knowing what I know now, I'd rather spend money pulling ethernet lines and hardwiring stuff for stable and high speeds rather than spend money specifically on wifi 6 hardware.

The AmpliFi system was also more impressive than I realized and dead easy to set up and with relatively low monitoring. My parents (not computer savy) noticed a more stable and fast connection with a single AmpliFi router on their main floor vs an entire powerline Deco mesh system system on 3 floors. I still have the ability to mesh that AmpliFi system too, but since my parents didn't need it, I ended up selling the extra hardware for what I paid, but less than what the new prices for hardware is right now due to shortages. It's so easy to set and forget and the interface is easy to deal with and has a great amount of features available to tweak.

I have to monitor my UDM (UniFi) set up slightly more, but I do appreciate and kinda need the extra features it offers due to some unique facets and layout "issues" in my home.
I have the Amplifi Mesh (base + 2 wall extenders) and it’s simply amazing. Plus putting limits on my kids wifi was the cherry on top.
