Some thoughts, I've been back and forth on this but mostly concluded that 6GHz isn't that important yet. The only thing I can think of for myself is streaming to my VR headset. For those people I've set up WiFi for they wouldn't even need 6GHz for VR as they don't stream from PC to it.
At the same time though, arguably 6GHz on Wifi6 (meaning Wifi6E) arguably does make more of a difference for some users than WiFi7 as it raises the speed ceiling more than WiFi7 on 5GHz. But neither is super important for the vast majority of people yet. Trying to cover a larger or difficult layout house/apartment will not benefit much from 6GHz (very limited range), but maybe a little from WiFi7 packaging data more efficiently (on 2.4 and 5GHz). And I haven't even talked about client support. If you're in the market for a new router for other reasons, all of this is a bit of an annoyance, as you don't really get much more for your money now than 2 or 4 years ago, the solid WiFi6 routers have just gradually declined a little in price while the WiFi7 ones just push higher.
As for other specs, there are advantages though. 2GB RAM on the most expensive of new routers (BE 88/96/98 and up), a faster SoC (but I made a
thread on SoC/RAM in the General Discussion forum and turns out arguably that doesn't make that much of a difference either). Then there is new firmware that will get updates for longer (this is definitely important), and there is also typically more than one 2.5GBit Ethernet port which makes it possible to finally network at higher than 1Gbit.
I'm basically waiting it out, its all a bit 'meh'. I was initially tempted to get the BE86U but turned out in the end that Asus just decided to check way too few of the above mentioned checkboxes.
