Is the main justification for two drops due to power/bandwidth/the-two? With many services and most killer apps going to the cloud, I would suspect that the bandwidth to the WAN is so limiting, that this excess of capacity on Wireless is a complete overkill (a vendor driven non-sense).
Yes, those 802.11ac Phase2 APs can generate a lot more than 1 Gbps, but that's is shared bandwidth (half-duplex), and your uplink is 1 Gbps full-duplex (2 Gbps in Cisco math as we said in the old days). So, you really plan to also uplink your switches with 40 Gbps, and then a core at many times 100 Gbps, all connected to your ISP at a few Gbps... something doesn't add up here. Am I alone making bad accounting here?

Currently we are just doing a one for one swap when replacing an older a/b/g AP’s with 802.11ac phase 1 AP’s When you have new construction, do you plan on running 2 drops so when phase 2 come into play you will be all set for it?
