If small form factor is your primary requirement, I'd be inclined to get something from the SXT series: http://routerboard.com/RBSXT5HPnD
Those look excellent and I want a couple. I need six devices total for this experiment so there's lots of room to try different devices. The lack of RAM, only 32 MB in the SXT, wouldn't allow running MESH and Linux guest OS's but I have the 132 MB Groove to play with for that.
There are various SXT models. Some have more power than others. Some have more RAM. Various antenna gains and beamwidth. Take some time to peruse routerboard.com and decide which one will work best for your application. I think the cheapest of the bunch is this one: http://www.balticnetworks.com/mikrotik-rb-sxt-lite5-16dbi-5ghz-dual-polarity... Tom KD7LXL
