The UAP-AC-Lite is a pretty good AP, more than a lot of people will need anyway. Most probably won't see a big difference between 2x2 and 3x3 MIMO, and if you've got more than one AP in your house, it's virtually a non-issue.

The limitation of the UAP-AC-Lite that made it a non-starter for my own deployment was that it only comes with a single ethernet-in and no ethernet-out. I have my access point deployed at the ethernet wall plate and needed a second ethernet port to carry on to my gigabit switch in the office, as my PC, Color Laser MFP, and SmartThings hub are all hardwired there. Only the UAP-AC-Pro offered a second ethernet port (and the UAP-AC-IW too, but the range is reduced on those compared to the AC Pro).
