R730 vs R850

My understanding is that the 850 is essentially identical to the 730. Is this true? Any advantages?

Not right now but that's a different issue. The two revisions of the chip don't work differently in terms of 160MHz. The general limitation with the chip being used is that 80+80/160MHz mode is basically reconfiguring the 8x8:8 5GHz radios to a 2 4x4:4 config. 

Long story short, neither the R730 nor the R850's current firmwares have 160MHz or 80+80 support.... But that's on par with the rest of the market that uses Hawkeye.
