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'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.
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.
Also is this router tri-band?

MX8500 doesn't do link aggregation as far as I can tell either, so I think you're stuck with gigabit on wired.
