Netgear R7000 or EX7000

[popeye111]

I am looking to use one of these as a media bridge and was just looking for some opinions. Can get either for the same price right now. My main router is a R7000.

I hear good things about the EX 7000, for bridging or, as an AP. I personally prefer the latter..

Ill throw my thoughts in. If you can get a R7000 for the same as the EX6200 and you dont plan on using the Repeater aspect of the EX6200 Id get another R7000. It is always nice to have a backup should you need it and aside from repeating (which I dont believe the R7000 does) everything else is there. Plus the R7000 is continually being updated with new firmware. Its a product with a long life ahead.
