I would go with the XR500. Add a EX7700 to help extend wifi coverage and also help off load connected devices from the router to help bandwidth and router load with having many deices on the router. Seems like you need something like this anyways even if you upgrade to a router. I have the XR450 with two EX7700s and it works wonderfully.
The XR700 is ok, however some features you may not need or have support for, LAG and wireless AD which hasn't really taken off in light of AX mode which seems to be the new mode and is taking off with wireless device support. Cost of the router is high for some features you may not use. I personally would avoid the XR700.
If you want and have support for AX mode, then maybe the AX router and a EAX80 extender to help again with coverage.
