Most importantly though, I want to know the correct details *before* buy the hardware.  Could I get some help or info on this. Again, it's just me, a single user, using this on his home network in order to build apps using the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API.  And also, are there any other options that I might be missing that could help me and that are even more budget friendly? ...
