If it was me, I'd look at the R7800. Its around that price
If you want to see actual tested performance. I'd recommend reading a few testing sites. Smallnetbuider does a great job and ranks them and goes over them. Its a great resource.

Are you comparing the R8000P to the R8000?
Or what exact devices are you comparing? (hint, AC**** are speeds, not models)
And are you just wondering about the differences?

I need to replace my 7yr old AC1900 R7000, it has a bad 'glitch' ....I was wondering why the price difference between those two particular models?? And, don't get me started, ...why are they called 'gaming routers' !?? Would I be happy with an AC3200 ?? Or go all out and get AC5400!?? I'm not a gamer... would I notice a tri-band?? I would buy something in the $300-400 range....twice what my R7000 cost back then...Hope this helped ...Thanx again ... B C
