Adding a satellite to existing mesh

I have an RBR40 with two RBS20's and an RBW30. I'd like to add another satellite onto the mesh. Any suggestions on which satellite to buy would be appreciated!

My personal favorite right now is the RBS40V (voice), which Amazon has been selling for $100.  (My guess is they want the "Alexa" feature to generate more business for Amazon and are discounting the price.  The Alexa feature does not need to be activated, and isn't a particularly great implementation of Alexa. But $100 is a pretty good deal.)

I'd agree with @CrimpOn that the RBS40V is a great option for the price. 

You can also use:

RBS20

RBW30

RBS40

RBS40V

RBS50

RBS50Y

 

The triband extenders do work as mesh but don't integrate in the app/browser for updates/changes. (EX7500, EX7700, EX8000)
