How to manage more than one access point (WAX620 - WAX630)

What is the "of course" coming from - reading to much consumer wireless router marketing or still dreaming of many Gigabits over the air for one computer?
On one hand you unlikely have many (or any) 802.1ax clients to gain any performance advantage.
On the other hand do you have a need to cover that many (ideally ax capable) clients that you need to have these almost 2000 carriers on air?
Last, with spanning 160 MHz (resp 80+80 MHz bandwidth) on the limited amount of channels, you kill the ability to have multiple APs in the area or partially covering the same area. Reality today is that it's not even possible to use the 80 MHz bandwidth in partially overlapping WiFi environments. And I have not even talked about legacy APs (11n/11ax) on air at the same time.
There are reasons why there are not many such devices available in the market.
