Rbk853 unavailable
Finally ready to drop the big coins on the Orbi RBK853 and it is not available ANYWHERE. What was a bit concerning was that one vendor reported that it was recently discontinued and would not be available in the future. Does anyone have any insight on this? Perhaps I need to look for another option.
I would review and compare the spec sheets for each system. Look at the wifi connection rates listed at the bottom of each system. This and MIMO and stream data information will tell you what system does and compare the two.
Where did you hear about Orbi AX being discontinued?
Orbi AX is still listed in NGs shop:
The system hasn't been out for a year yet. NG doesn't make something and spend lots of design and development money on something that they would turn around and discontinue it.

There is another wifi 6 mesh system that is currently being sold by Netgear:
Nighthawk® Mesh WiFi 6 System

Maybe it's not so powerful as the Orbi AX6000 (it has only 2-bands), but it's a lot cheaper...
Model: MK62 (router + 1 satellite)
