yeah, but wouldn't it be nice to use UBQT CPE for 95% of the installs, and still be able to use a 3-9 eth port SBC when it is needed the remainig 5%, without having to deploy a new AP? Of course, there is the option to use MT AP and UBQT CPE, but that wont happen in my network until the two share a common embedded speed testing tool, and verified common working polling or bridging (WDS) methods.
I dont mind mismatching hardware brands, but prefer not to mismatch OSs, for the above reasons. I'd gladly pay a $100 license to prevent the install of a second AP that generates a new reocurring cost to have colocated.

I'd expect Mikrotik went out of their way to break it on Ubnt, too. Not to mention the fact that you'll need to buy a MT license for each device (even at $35/cpe that adds up).
