The MR-3020 is $30/each on Amazon and software is worth a lot more than the hardware :-) Hardware is commodity, Software is eating the world https://a16z.com/2016/08/20/why-software-is-eating-the-world...

I bought their device after I saw it at DEFCON and there is some good value addition in there with custom sniffer programs, channel hoppers etc. You could set some of it up yourself but I think getting it to work stably will be an issue. They've tied everything in pretty well.

Personally - it rids me of the pain of having to install Vmware, Kali and and have na external Wi-Fi card. I manage Wi-Fi deployments and this is easy to use with Wireshark.

I remember them mentioning at their DEFCON booth that a 11ac version (5GHz) is launching sometime soon. Waiting for it!
