I have to say, I had one hell of a headache when I was deciding betwene USG and ER-X... I so desperately wanted self-hosted Radius, which USG can do, but I'll most likely have to move to a place, which has rather unstable Internet access, so secondary Internet access based on different technology would also be great... I just need that freaking failover function of Edge series, which USG doesn't support! Man, it was agony! Went with ER-X in the end and I say and will always say, worth it.
Personally I see USG these days best suited fo hotels. Just as was said in the video. Just need VLAN separation and no fine tuning for the rules, I do see this working perfectly, radius is a plus with USG, and captive portal, thanks to UniFi cnotroller being present, should also come very handy. And if you're a chain? No problem, IPsec site-to-site VPN and central controller got you covered.
