They are pretty close in frequency IIRC, but in a crowded place I assume every little bit would help. Not sure how much, though.

Of course the -real- benefit to upgrading early is that you'll likely have the 6ghz space to yourself for a couple years.

It’s a trade off. The higher the frequency the worse it does with obstructions, generally.

When concerned with congestion that is considered a benefit ( but you might have to run more than one access point)

Yeah, it’s that second one is the biggie, especially if you’re dealing with something like an outbuilding that either only has intermittent power or even no power at all.
