The only time I recommend the dual bands is if you're planning on hardwiring in the satellites. Then it performs fine.
If you don't mind renewed, there's been some renewed orbi's on amazon

Thanks for taking the time to reply to this hit and run. You confirm my suspicions. I'll check out the renewed options, I've gone that route few times.
