I agree.
RAID-5 performance (large file transfers) is ~100 MB/sec on a gigabit network.

page 65 might be of interested to you as well. You can create an aggregate on the R8500 to the RN214.

Yes. Though most home users don't have enough simultaneous users to guarantee a performance improvement with LACP bonding. With 2 users, there's only a 25% chance that both the uplinks and downlinks will be optimal.
So if you need the R8500 LAN port for something else, just use one NIC. But if the port is free anyway, you might as well take advantage of the LACP support.
