Yes, UBNT certainly has it's place, and it's certainly possible to build a decent network with it... but I can't think of a single good reason why anyone would go with UBNT over Canopy other than cost. I guess UBNT AC is technically able to achieve higher speeds (although I'm not sure if that's still the case now that Medusa is out and Canopy is getting fatter channels), but if that's what I was going for, I would most likely be looking at Mimosa.
