>90% on 5GHz!  That's eye-opening.  I've got some thinking to do.

I'm sure. :) One of our highest density areas has a couple of 8-radio Xirrus 
units to serve a room of 250 students. We are running 2x2GHz radios, 5x5GHz 
radios, and 1 monitor mode radio in these units. The performance is great 
and we typically see a lot of 5GHz clients when the room is "fully loaded." 
I have attached an example.

This is definitely in contrast with what we see generally on campus, as 
people move all around all the time, we see closer to 50/50, or maybe 40/60 
toward 5GHz.

As far as 5GHz radios in close proximity within the same unit - I don't 
worry about it much. We generally just let auto channel take care of it and 
we seem to be fine.
