Just be careful with Xirrus. A little known secret is that only 3 of those radios can be running in the 2.4ghz band at any time.

Xirrus say that they can support 640 clients with this device: http://www.xirrus.com/Products/Wireless-Arrays/XR-Series/XR-4000-Series I heard about it a couple weeks ago, didn't try it yet.
That's a pretty neat product -- it seems like it takes care of spectrally isolating clients by utilizing 4 - 8 radios per AP-box and 8 - 24 directional sector antennas. I feel like this addresses the suggestions that I and others gave to utilize more APs rather than a big central one, but it just packages it all into one box with many antennas. Cheers, jof
