OFDMA for 5GHz/RAXE500

I just installed and manually set up the RAXE500 as AP in my LAN and so far so good. By default OFDMA is disabled for the 2.4 and 5GHz bands, will I get any benefit/harm by enabling it? Thanks

I'm using the 5GHz band with OFDMA enabled, so far so good, stable connection, however I cannot feel speed improvement

From everything I've read, you don't really notice much difference (if any). Speedtesting can show results but even that is variable.
