Would you buy Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points again?

No

new series provide less coverage than old series like 1700 or 2700. secondly the compatibility matrix with wlc makes it mandatory to buy new APs to replace older ones even if they are still supported which makes it a negative point for clients. finally the pricing is too high
