I opted for the Flint 2 because it's already been out for a while and the firmware stability has been established. I'll just combine it with a 2.5gbe switch.
Flint 2 does 4804Mbps on the 5GHz band vs Flint 3 2882Mbps
Flint 2 does 1148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band vs Flint 3 688Mbps
Flint 3 does 5765Mbps on 6GHz Band
Flint 2 is also MU-MIMO 4x4 vs Flint 3 MU-MIMO 2x2
Flint 2 is cheaper (retail), runs cooler, and is more mature with its current updates.
Flint 3 is only better if you rely on or have enough devices that would take advantage of the 6GHz band, and Wi-Fi 7 features... which unless you run a hotel is not most people.
Unless you're in desperate need of a Wi-Fi 7 router, then the Flint 2 is the better option for now. I would skip Flint 3 and wait until Flint 4 for more robust Wi-Fi 7.
Flint 2 > Flint 3
