We have 1100ahx2 at all sites and for our core I like the flexibility with the split switches, the first one is reserved as router ports the rest are switch, really nice for small sites to put the ap right into it

I have had multiple units in the field and have had issues ranging from CPU load to port compatibility with other devices. There are other layer 2/3 switches that work very well though they are more expensive. I use CCR1009 units with Netonix switches at my tower sites now and don't have problems.
