So I already have an UniFi ap, but I can get the Cisco for $100 an AP. Should I upgrade?
 
I would just stick with the unifi. Unifi working the way you want? If so don't fix what is not broken
 
Maybe? If you get get a $500 AP for $100, that's definitely a deal. The problem you're going to have with a real enterprise AP is that the actual AP is the cheapest porition of having one. I don't know specifics these days, but you usually need to have a support contract and login to Cisco to get firmware updates. And last I knew if you wanted to use multiple Cisco APs with roaming enabled, you're going to be shelling out $$$ for a controller. Like Vengance said, if the UAP is already doing what you want, there really is no point. The Aironet is a Wave 2 device, but if you don't have Wave 2 clients that won't matter. You aren't going to have an App for the Cisco, and will need more configuration and devices running if you want to get more out of it.
