Wire vs. Orbi

I am looking to improve speeds in my home and I started by investigating getting the house wired for Ethernet.  The guy who came in sugggested that I investigate the Orbi system.  

 

So my question is, cost aside, why Orbi and not wire?  Put another way, if you could snap your fingers and, for no cost, replce your orbi with wire, would you?

Since my home is spread out with 2 buildings, I went with an Orbi router and 2 satellite system and hardwired my satellites, 1 in the office building and the other on the second floor of the main building, with the router on the first floor. I have multiple port switched connected to the router and satellites as I have a combination of many wired and wireless devices. Most all PCs are wired along with a couple of TVs, cameras, receivers and Android boxes. Tablets, laptops, phones, Echos, smart devices, other TVs, 1 PC, firesticks, thermostats, and printers are wireless. 

I have the best of both worlds as I could not live with only a wired connection. My speeds both wired and wireless are excellent. 

So to answer your question "why Orbi and not wired": Orbi gives me wired flexibility and a great WIFI blanket throughout my home, which is needed, if you want to be able to use the latest technology. I would not replace my Orbi.
