Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.

Wired is so much better.

I would agree with that, but here in the UK we dont have coax in every room

    You only need the MoCA for the back-haul between distant wifi access points or ethernet switches, not in every single room. Unless your walls are made from literal sheet metal, a wifi signal should get through at least one, and ethernet cables along the baseboard and under a doorway are fine too.
