Sky hub max hub and Q?

Suddenly I have just noticed that Sky are now offering me an upgrade to the new white sky max hub even though I have fttc connection and more importantly Sky Q with 2 mini boxes. I understand that up to this point it was not available if you had multiple minis, have the issues now been resolved?  
if I upgrade will I see a WiFi improvement in my busy household with our devices compared to our current Sky Q hub router?

@grenterl the new Sky Max hub does offer potentially faster WiFi up from 600Mb/s to say 900Mb/s butvthst is pretty academic if you only have a connection running below 80Mb/s. Actually in your case it is likely that your wifi will be slower as the new hubs do not support the Q box wifi mesh so you lose the wifi hot spots your Q boxes offer.

 

The range of the white hub is better than the old flat Q hub alone but those old units are likely to be swapped out for a replacement as it is thought they do not meet some new regulations.  I suspect you will be offered a Hub4 - the upright Broadband Hub. - which has very similar range to the white hub but is compatable with Sky Q in the next few months.
