MikroTik RouterBoard hAP ac Lite - RB952UI-5AC2ND

Considering everything is internal and the size, wifi range is pretty good, although I haven't had a good chance to test the speeds due to being on an ADSL connection.

The UI however was a bit of a pain to use, for the basic AP it's easy to do, but anything more complicated such as a second SSID on an isolated VLAN was difficult to set up. I guess it depends on your usage on what you want to use it for.
 
I'm afraid you are wrong.
They do have concurrent dual band but it is not high powered (the model number would have 2HnD);

There is however the hAP AC which does have the higher powered wireless chip inside it;

Overall the "full fat" has an SFP, better CPU, Gigabit, stronger wifi by about 4db at higher data rates and about twice the price.

I've trialled and tested both and they are both MikroTik, they look similar, behave similar, the OS is the same. Can't say I've noticed a difference between them (other than LAN speeds through the switch chip but that is largely not normal as I use a CRS125 as my main switch.

This is surprising. Did you use the Web UI or Winbox? Second SSID is brilliantly easy with Winbox.
