Recently saw the XR450 at costco for around $250 and was amazed at the price. What is the difference between the XR450 and XR500? Will I notice any real world differences between the two?

XR500 AC2600 (800Mbps @2.4GHz—256QAM support +1733Mbps 5Ghz 11ac) XR450 • AC2400 (600Mbps@2.4GHz-64QAM support+1733Mbps@5GHz 11ac) $100 cheaper difference between the two models is the 2.4Ghz radio. XR450 is only available at Costco

Only difference is slightly less WiFi speed I believe.
