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.

parents house, same 4 mesh setup.
SNB showed poor mesh performance under high load but that was with early firmware. One would think that is sorted out over the past 3 years of fw updates. https://www.smallnetbui
With open source support that mesh system has to be the slickest deal here. Almost too good to be true if they're new.
I've messed around with the MX4300/MX4200/MX5300 the past few months in openwrt. Been all good so far. The BIG plus of these MX8500 is the 5GB WAN port. All the others have only gigabit. They are still building out residential multigig service in my area (1.2gb max ATM) but I don't know when a deal like this will come around again. Full FOMO in effect.

I have a dozen or two IOT devices, and my current single router isn't able to connect to the ones outside the house...

FYI, mesh is just a new (or newer, at this point) term for existing bridge technology, albeit with a few more bells and whistles. You can accomplish the same thing with any 3 routers with a little work.
