I think they look fine!
Though I really like the mounting bracket on the Cisco APs better - they clip onto the drop ceiling railing and install much faster.
I get to install one of these, and they just got rid of all the drop ceilings. It's just one AC-Lite AP, but me and drilling holes doesn't generally work so well.
The kit that came with the original Unifi APs came with drywall mollys/anchors. Make sure you use these, otherwise it could get messy. The AP isn't that heavy (the Lite probably less so) but the anchors are for the best.
I was going to mount it inside a centrally located closet, but am going to try to talk them into letting me mount it on the outside wall of the closet. No matter where I put the thing the signal will be going through at least one wall where it's being used, so I don't know how much use we'll be able to make use of the 5GHz range. The place isn't that large, just lots of walls.
Either way I know those drywall anchors are important if it's being put on the drywall somewhere. I have trouble imagining a secure mount on a ceiling tile, at least with me around.
