It depends, What's your use case ? Service speed? Wired nodes or wireless?
CPU and Ram is the same, the only difference is MX10600 has 2 x 5ghz bands (one ac one ax) and the MX8500 has 1x 5ghz ax and the third band is 6ghz.
If you have no 6ghz clients you won't see any difference. Also the 6ghz band has a ~50% shorter range than 5ghz.

I recently purchased two 2-packs of Linksys Velop MX10600 Tri-Band AX5300 Mesh WiFi 6 Systems (4 units total) from a Woot deal and flashed them with OpenWRT. I'm wondering if the MX8503 would perform any better than the MX10600.
OK, so I am 5 years out of date on internet for home :-) But these three devices link together for seamless internet in a BIG home - 3 floors in our case due to newly remodeled basement. All sites and reviews say it's easy to set up the system, using an iPhone or Andoid app. You can use your old ssid and password so no revised setup of connected devices such as TVs, security cameras, etc

Any comments on the Mx8503? Openwrt officially supports it but I don't see any NSS build after a quick Google search? Is the 6Ghz radio worth upgrading from the MX4300 deal just a few months ago?

I also found this at the same place.
Which would be better?
The EERO seems to be rated better.
Thanks
