6E is the value sweet spot in 2026; 7 (Meraki MR and early Catalyst) makes sense for greenfield high-density builds. Both quoted — the delta is usually smaller than expected.
Cloud (Central/Meraki) for distributed estates with lean IT; controllers for sovereignty-sensitive networks; FortiAP when the firewall is already Fortinet. We map it to your ops model.
6E/7 APs draw 25–40W — older PoE budgets run out fast. Send your closet inventory; we flag gaps and quote PoE++ options.
