Why would that sort of assumption be naïve on slickdeals? As people ask questions equivalent to, 'can a toaster fry chicken', all the time on this forum. I'm just implying that adding a bit more detail would dismiss any assumption towards ignorance (if that truly were the case).
As for using it in a. 'Home Lab' setup? I think this would make a great rack-mount router for the beginner or someone that wants a fairly easy setup right out of the box. The more advanced user looking to run an ISP out of their apartment is going to want something a bit more robust though (different hardware altogether). You might even want to look at the 'edge router' line of devices instead as they are a bit more advanced (more CLI focused etc.).
Then comes the problem with the edge line, it needs a refresh! I've been rocking my ER4 for a few years now and I think the only other edge product was the out of my price range infinity model.
It all boils down to how dirty you want to get your hands with that lab. If you want to get really dirty and go with the UDM? You may find yourself regretting the purchase for something a bit more advanced later.
They appear to have a NG Firewall (community edition) for free? I'm not certain as I've never used Untangled before but heard good things.
I have used Unifi and PfSense and am looking for a middle ground in terms of ease of use vs performance / features.

I have had this unit running for about two months now. Love it. Next to zero maintenance since it replaced my udm and key. I like that it just works.... the more you have the less I want to worry about and this did that for me.

This replaces 3 separate boxes that I use now: UniFi USG, 8-port 60W PoE switch and NVR box.
I've been waiting for this to come back in stock and pulled the trigger without a second thought.
Edit: just saw someone else already mentioned it. Lol
Moving into a new house and planning on running ethernet for POE Cams on the exterior of the house.
This definitely isn't worth it if you wanted just PoE (that is entirely separate anyways), or routing. The real power of this unit comes when you want the routing. You want the gateway. Firewall features. Getting the AP units. Maybe even the unify cameras.
