Where did you get that routing performance comparison figure, esp for those Asus? RB750Gr3 is almost 2x the routing performance of Ubuiquiti ERX on most scenario, but you won't notice this as you will mostly have single direction data transfer. Both mikrotik & edgerouter had their own quirks & bugs, but I no longer recommend edgerouter judging from the lack of urgency attitude from ubiquiti in fixing their firmware bugs (erl-3 few years back & now er-x). Mikrotik had issues with IKEv2 VPN & ER-X had broken L2TP/IPSec when IPSec hw offload enabled.

Well, I don't put much weight on SNB figures in terms of practicality & real use case (at least those used by me & acquaintance). The CTF disabled figures is kinda irrelevant. Without hardware offload, the soc/cpu inside a router will have to run at high speed. It will really depends on the raw cpu power & processing latency. Some soc does have DPI hw offload & them leaving it enabled for 1 & disabled for another router in their CTF chart just show their unfamiliarity to those smb routers.

My point is, do not blindly follow those figures if it doesn't match your use case. If the router is significant under performed in your use case, it doesn't mean that it is bad but rather you have chosen the wrong router for your use case. There are other factors but I don't want to make a lengthy rant on this.
