Careful, most WiFi 7 routers don't support all real WiFi 7 features. I'm personally sticking with WiFi 6 until more do.

Agreed. A mature WiFi 6e system offers a better experience/value for most people. The WiFi 7 push is mostly hype and until more of the finalized features are universally implemented, the user experiences will be sub-par.

I had no idea how bad it was until I saw a comparison on YouTube recently, and it's really bad how little of the actual standard most of these routers support. Notably these don't have the WiFi 7 certified logo, which means they don't have the official certification.

What does the 4th band add compared to tri band, more backhaul bandwidth?

Good grief, if you've got this kind of cash you're almost certainly better off putting together a Unifi system with a router and APs. The software for management is worlds better than anything the hobbled Orbi system can provide and you can upgrade individual parts as needed.
