To be more helpful (and prevent rants and irrelevance) can you provide a
bit more info - what are you really trying to do? In some cases, anyone who
has done a conference-style event for a few hundred people may be able to
provide great info and tips. In other cases, you may need a team of
consultants for a few months.

eg: One off event or permanent site? Describe the site a bit if you can -
size, construction, where the users will be, for how long, stationary or
moving? What do they want, what do they expect? Types of traffic
expected/allowed? Failover and business criticality issues?

Also, why so few APs? Are they taxed or rare or something we don't know ?

(* reason for asking so bluntly is the physics tend to suggest running lots
of APs with limited range each may be better than one or two APs for
everything. Otherwise, there would only be one global AP for the entire
planet and it would be fine for everyone, everywhere, all the time, no
matter what. The concept really *is* that simple most of the time, though
there are sometimes exceptions in very special cases)
