Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender


In anyone’s experience, does implementing a pricier Mesh network yield any sonic advantages to just using a good Wi-Fi extender and running a good Ethernet cable from that?  From people who have very good streamer setups it seems like using a simple but good Wi-Fi extender from TP-Link etc. is more than fine.  Thoughts?

Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 devices are extremely stable. We use a four satellite mesh network in a 5,000 sq ft 1867 brick home that serves as our local historical society HQ and that mesh system was a game changer. Device allocation can be monitored from the phones of our staff, including a hifi Bluetooth streamer in the ball room, where most of our events and zoom meetings are held. Best $2,200 we’ve spent in recent years.
