One of these days I'll swap in the Ubiquiti USG in place of the ER-5-POE so I can access it all from the same GUI and have access to all the stats.

Definitely worth a look.
I'm using a Ubiquiti Edge Router Lite at the edge with an Extreme Networks X450e-48p managed PoE switch doing internal routing. Only Internet-bound traffic gets sent toward the Ubiquiti ERL (internal devices use the switch IP as their gateway, and the switch uses the ERL as its default route). For wireless I have a Motorola AP-6532 enterprise-class 802.11n (Motorola's WiFi business was purchased by Zebra Technologies, and Zebra Technologies WiFi business was recently purchased by Extreme Networks). I've been really happy with the setup, but I want to move to 802.11ac at some point. My house is big enough that I really should have 2-3 AP's, and probably will do that when I make the move to 11ac.

I'm asking since I have never needed it myself, but I guess some use-cases might require it.

Damn, man, that's a freaking awesome setup. If your upstream's good enough, your guests must be showering you with compliments about how great your Wi-Fi is
How is roaming between multiple UniFi AP's? I'm looking to add another AC AP Lite to my setup, as single one doesn't cover everything with 5 GHz (and 2.4 GHz can't handle 500 mbit/s upstream), is there anything I should worry about or will it be completely seamless?
