Bravo. This new Shrub is not only a serious improvement but actually looks professionally done as well, rather than an amateur box-ticking botch job like the last one...

You see all those transmitters outside that are on masts?

See any TV or mobile transmitters lying flat on the ground?

See all those hundreds of businesses with professionally installed wireless networks where they are all attached high on walls or the ceiling? Seen any who installed their wifi access points on the floor?

Sure, last time I did a "drive test" I found out of 380 Superhubs, all but one were on 2.4Ghz. However since consumer grade 5Ghz signals don't travel as far, that's not an entirely fair comparison.

Personally I'm still surprised when I see professionally installed wireless networks (hotspots, hotels, airports, etc.) that use 5Ghz, even then they are still extremely rare. There's only three I know of in Edinburgh. Two belong to universities.
Your post made me laugh, Flat routers have the transmitters upright still. So god knows why you made a comment saying I said otherwise.

The fritzbox has enclosed transmitters like the homehub and superhub and that one works reasonably well but that router is flat, I dont doubt transmitters inside casing can wotk well, what I do doubt is someone saying a transmitter enclosed will perform better than one that isnt with all else been equal.
