EnGenius vs UI for residential use

I'm looking at setting up a more advanced network for someone; they are more of a prosumer. I have an interest in this project and am looking for some answers.

They will be using a Netgate 2100 for their router/firewall and have a few different VLANs set up. They will have some PoE devices, cameras and other equipment.

We've looked at and used Ubiquit's product line and like them for the most part. We came across the Engenius brand while browsing here and am wondering, what the major differences are?

We plan on deploying 1 AP and having 2 VLANs on it. We'd also like to have a 24 port switch that we can manage VLANs and has PoE.

To Recap:

  1. Netgate 2100 Router/Firewall
  2. 1 AP - 2 VLANs
  3. 24 Port Switch that has VLAN support and PoE

It looks like Engenius has a good switch that fits the needs. They do not care not want to use the "cloud" aspect of the technology and would like for that to be blocked/disabled.
