> mesh networks halve your bandwidth.
This is only true for single band networks. You can use one band as backhaul, another for AP, and still get ~300Mbps.
> of course, if you can't/won't use ethernet cables for your APs, you can try this mesh
All of the latest UniFi APs support meshing. Ubiquiti is not great at naming their products, apparently.
Also, I would advise against the LR. It does output more power and has a larger antenna than the lite, but there is little to it for indoors use, compared to the Pro, which I believe is cheaper and definitely is speedier.
