I see the new EA9300 has a 1.8GHz quad core cpu and 512mb ram. Compared to the EA9500 1.4GHz dual core cpu and 256 ram. Why would Linksys charge more for the EA9500 when on paper cpu/ram wise the EA9300 is superior? I do have a EA9500 personally and got it last year back in November.
 
EA9300 is 3x3 vs. EA9500 4x4. EA9300 uses new Broadcom BCM4365 chipset for 5 GHz radio. Same as used in NETGEAR R7000P.

I have been testing EA9300 and find low 5 GHz downlink throughput and working with Linksys to see why. NETGEAR 5 GHz performance is as would be expected.
 
Got two of these ea9300 and going to see how well they do seamless roaming. One primary and other access point.
