Come on Amazon!
I have one in my office connected to the modem. Then I had an Ethernet cable routed from my office to a jack downstairs, this cable is connected from each router to each other.

So instead of an entirely wireless mesh network, both nodes have their own hardwired connect they make use of to act as an access point.

So in reality at all time there are 6 networks a device could choose for the best experience. 2.4 ghz, 5 ghz, and 5 ghz-2 (which has 160 band for wifi 6) on each access point.

The band steering software also automatically steers the clients to the optimal band.

I'm extremely happy and am getting the best for my 2900 SQFT house
Plz be aware even after down grading firmware it randomly drops packets. So during video call it sucks.

I had no issues after downgrading firmware to 42095 (iirc, but it's the earliest version). Et8 only has one firmware and it drops like a hot potato.

I don't own these, but I've had the RBK753 for a year. The Orbi has been rock solid for me; no outages nor interruptions in my many daily (video) conference calls or for 4K video streaming.

Have my two on ethernet backhaul but can't tell if it's actually using all 3 bands. The 5ghz-2 band seems to set up a different ssid, did you make it exactly the same to get this to work?

I've noticed this doesn't do a perfect handoff, or maybe I have too many overlapping routers (added two spare floating routers to the mesh as well)

As others already mentioned, 42095 is the only good firmware. All newer cause devices to lose connection at times, especially when switching between nodes.
