I would actually love to see MikroTIk get a head start on 802.11ac wave 2 tech. Typically, I've seen MikroTik quite a bit behind on wifi featuresets. But I'm only a recent MikroTik user, so I could be wrong.

With that said, it'd be awesome if they incorporated MU-MIMO, Band Steering, proper POE on their APs and released on par with other Enterprise companies.

Mikrotik might seem a bit behind wifi featureset right now, but they were pretty much ahead of their times with nstreme, nstreme2 and even nv2. And these things keep improving, unless other manufacturers who require you to get new hardware for any extra features.
Also, the feature set on a wireless router is pretty much best in this market. Think about how much you pay for a bgp-capable router from cisco. Does it have wireless?
You're basically in tp-link price range having cisco features.
And about the 12V POE, please leave it as is. I'm happy I don't have to provide 48v to every tower or customer, it keeps the costs down and also allows interfacing with ip cameras and such.
Of course, the latest devices can use 12V and af, which is I think the best decision moving forward, because it allows for a lot of flexibility.
