Smart Hub Pro and Smart Hub Plus Mesh

Hi  Is it possible to use a Smart Hub Pro and the Smart Hub Plus together to create a Mesh Network? And if it’s possible does this mean WiFi 7 wouldn’t function at all? As it stands I only have one device that’s capable of connecting to WiFi 7 the rest are mostly WiFi 6 capable so not really an issue for now. 

A week ago I placed an order for Full Fiber 500 the order date is the 22 October so I have plenty of time to amend it if needs be. 

I didn’t order Full Fiber Gigabit as I though it would be an overkill but on reflection there’s not much of a difference in cost, however,  on Amazon  £65.00 can get me a Smart Hub Pro and I was considering buying this using it as the the main router to the ONT and placing the smart hub plus upstairs. Amazon also have the Smart WiFi Pro Mesh Kit but weirdly these are £75.00   
What are you thoughts change the order to Gigabit or stick with the 500 ? 
thanks

I couldn’t see a way to edit my post! 

I’ve just realised that the Smart Hub Pro  is only supplied with the 1.6Gbps package so for 65.00 I could buy my own and use the plus to create a Mesh?

I have ordered a TP link WiFi 6 extender for 49.00 but I can return it unused if the above is a better option

@Abcatal Don't even try doing it!

Thanks for the heads up! 

I will stick with the supplied hub and if needed the TP-Link RE700X WiFi 6 AX3000Mbps...
