is it worth upgrading to wifi7 / BT10 mesh for me?

My current setup:
- 10 GB Fiber
- ethernet cabling to 4 out of 5 locations inside the home
- 4 XT8 and 1 XT9 connected via ethernet (3 XT8 and 1 XT9) plus 1 XT8 via wifi backhaul close to one of the 4 wired connected AP
From a wifi 6 laptop, I get 730 Mbps down and 625 Mbps up

Without significant Wifi7 devices (I can plug a Wfi7 dongle in my laptops but that's about it), what benefit should I expect from 5 BT 10 in this setup? I am looking to justify the 1600 euro (minus resale value of the existing mesh hardware) purchase.
 
Your Internet experience won't change much 1600 euro later. If your current system is working as expected - continue using it. If lower ISP plans come cheaper - switch to lower speed and save some money. Gigabit symmetrical fiber is plenty for home use.
