Meraki MR32 to MR57 Migration

This is with regard to Meraki, BUT it can apply to any wireless deployment...

IHAC who has Meraki MR32 APs in their environment and they want to replace them with MR57 APs. Now, there is a word of difference between the two... 2x2:2 vs 8x8x8 (MR57) 1GHz ports vs 5GHz ports... .11ac vs WiFi-6E... etc...

My view is that an RF assessment should be done to ensure that these APs are deployed judiciously and in a way that provides the correct RF coverage, doesn't overlap with existing MR32 channels, etc. Seems like a BAD idea to just rip out an MR32 and replace it with an MR57 willy nilly... no? Am I correct in my thinking?

Correction: MR57 is 4x4:4... either way, the question remains.
