I'd go AF5x over AC, but AC does have realtime, concurrent AirView whereas AF5x does not.

The Lite is cheap and can do PtP or PtMP, but does not have airprism. The PtP and PtMP have airPrism, but there's apparently differences in airprism between the two which means they will always be limited to ptp or ptmp, as far as I know this is going to be a permanent separation. The AC radios have faster CPUs and that sort of thing, so they are going to perform better than the old junk, they also have some spiffy features like live airview. The biggest downside to the AC line at this point is the lack of DFS and UNII-1. I personally wouldn't put up anything with the old M5 stuff at this point unless you need to for compatibility reasons, UBNT AC should perform best of the three, but ePMP gives you a bit more flexibility at this point. I expect AF5x to be better than any of them in every way.

What are the differences between lite, ptp, and ptmp airprism only? Are some of these shipping without all there guts? I am looking at replacing an old shitbucket tranzeo link, we already have it connected to one pol of a set of radiowaves 2 foot HP parabolics. I figure its worth checking out these AC radios, but I dont know whats what now, is this a permanent separation with UBNT of ptp and ptmp or is this two things that are going to converge? Other than the Ac component, for a low throughput demand link is there any major benefit of going to the AC over the M5 in terms of performance? (future demand is a factor as well) Also considering the epmp, goods, bads uglies between the three products there? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. </blockquote>
