Anyone Use the AX4200 Satellites with the AX6000 Router?

I have the RBK853 AX6000 Orbi Wifi 6 system, but have been considering getting a few more satellites for media centers that are otherwise still streaming on wifi in the house as they do better hard-wired to the orbi satellites to take advantage of the Wifi 6 backhaul.  

Technically Netgear says RBS750 satellites AX4200 are compatible with "Orbi Wifi 6 systems" but has anyone used them with the AX6000 router?  I've had too many unpleasant surprises with Netgear, and the price point of getting a 3 pack with 2 satellites for $550 seems worth more than getting a RBS850 standalone for $379, or a RBS750 standalone for $279

Appreciate anyone thoughts, technically I think they just have a slower processor and less an eternet port but otherwise they should be specced the same

They are compatible. 

 

Only big differences is the wifi speed rates on 2.4Ghz front haul differ from the 8 series. Back haul specs are the same.
