You can put the twin APs on different channels, and the two collision domains shouldn't overlap.

So he's specifically referring to collision on the same channel, not that a device connected to Router A on 2.4 channels 1->4, but can also see Router B on channels 10->13 has to wait to transmit data back to Router A.

Yes, collision occurs on the same channel transmit.

You'll probably have to setup two different essids. Most devices I've used will keep using the same ap even when its signal is lousy and they have a great signal to the other ap
