The 4x4 makes all the difference.

I've stuck with my Eero Pro 6 because it has 4x4 at 5GHz and the Pro 6E and 7 trade that for 2x2 at both 5GHz and 6GHz. The Max 7 has 4x4 on both 5Ghz and 6Ghz, but for a 3-pack for my house, the current pricing on amazon.ca is $2300, compared to the $650 I paid for the Pro 6 3-pack. (And the Pro 6 seems to have notably lower power draw than the Max 7.)
