Mr Dingo, I understand that for typical 'soho router' type use this is pretty small, but for me I'm just wanting a batman-adv mesh node and that's plenty of RAM. A 4 radio mesh with dual 802.11ac mini pci-e radios and this would be a powerhouse. And at this price point, I could be <$200 per node. This is a bit outside the normal lede scope, but I have a design for a 3 tiered hybrid mesh with backhaul radios, super nodes, and micro nodes. I have everything except the supernode (ubnt backhauls, uap-ac-m micro node) and just need that last piece with 3 gigabit ports and here it is in a $50 board.
