Well, I pulled cat 6e backhaul, so I'm moving away from tri-band mesh to dual-band AIMesh. It should actually improve wifi performance, and ends up being cheaper.
I looked at ubiquiti, but not interested in cloud-only management (particularly after their issues). And, well, if I'm hit by a truck, I want something that someone in the family has a chance of maintaining :-)

Save a little bit of money (unless you're in the return window). Asus does routing stupendously better than Orbi, but Orbi still does the "mesh" thing bettter than Asus (AiMesh) overall (coverage wise). That's why I have my Orbi as AP behind my Asus router. Also, the Asus does things free that NG charges for.
On top of that, you can then downgrade the Orbi and block the updates (easily) with the Asus. Note - I run Merlin on my Asus router.
If you go AiMesh, you have to be careful about which units you put together, as some pairings work better than others. Dongknows is a good website (he personally espouses AiMesh, and gives good recommendations on which routers work best together when you throw an AiMesh system together).
Of course, if you're looking at Asus' canned Mesh system they have their new AX mesh line.
