It appears that Ubiquiti's U6-Pro access point is in stock and out of the early access program. My Ubiquiti stock alert didn't trigger because they've apparently made a new sku listing for it (or something).
Max order quantity of 2. Reddit thread suggests that UI may be counting prior purchases towards that limit.
Does not include a required PoE injector. I bought the
U-PoE-AT [ui.com].

Ubiquiti used to have a comparison chart [ubnt.com] that included the U6-Pro, but now it 404's. Their current spec comparison at the bottom of this page [ui.com] doesn't include the U6-Pro. Curious.
Earlier this year McCann Tech posted a table and commentary [evanmccann.net] comparing the specs of Ubiquiti's WiFi 6 AP's (that includes the U6-Pro).

The other benefit is the 2.5gbps port, for me that is useless since it will likely be years before I have internet faster than that and I don't do local file transfers and I don't have any switches that support it. I'd personally rather save the $30.
I've always wanted to try ubiquiti as well so that nudged me towards them, and I haven't had great experiences with tplink, maybe their business stuff is better.
If 2.5/5gbps switches weren't so expensive then, I'd probably just go with the tplink, but I'll wait for those to get cheaper and just get a 6e access point at the same time.
