Hey Michael, What a good chance to get some real-world input! Maybe you could monitor and log the retransmit percentages over time of your co-located APs on channels 1 and 4 and advise us if the retransmit percentages go up as the simultaneous traffic loading on the two APs go up? Channels 1 and 4 (under heavy traffic conditions) will be colliding with each other. On the other hand, if your traffic levels remain low-to-moderate, it may work just fine.
