    I'd really like the bluetooth option but I've heard the 6300 bluetooth interferes with the wifi performance. And the card in general has stability issues

    Just a thought...perhaps you should consider one of the other brands?

    I've been using the killer 1202 on my laptop, and haven't had any issues with wifi or bluetooth connectivity. My laptop is in an adjacent room to my router, about 20 feet or so. May not be the best setup to judge it's capabilities, but I have not noticed any degraded wifi performance.

    In my experience/usage I have found Intel cards to be superior to any other brand (though I haven't tried any 'Killer' products yet...).

    Superior in terms of range, stability, signal sensitivity and throughput (nothing else really matters...) in real world setups.

    What 'stability issues' has the OP read/heard about?

    Don't make posts like this please. "I read this", "somebody said that" - you need to qualify these statements with links to your sources.
