It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.
RB5009 is better but more expensive. There's a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.
I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There's a learning curve, but it's worth it if you're a nerd.
