I don't know about the newer "M" line but I know before that (speaking of the NS, PS, Bullet, Microstation, Picostation) at least one hurdle people were running into in their quest to put what they thought was "better" firmware into the UBNT line was memory. There just wasn't enough.
It would be nice if there was UBNT gear with RouterOS preloaded, similar to how dd-WRT has partnered with some hardware manufacturers to offer their hardware with dd-WRT preloaded.
