Welcome to IWETHEY!

New I don't understand how "back channel" is different from "repeat everything they hear"
But the key point seems to be the term "mesh" in the description. Should be enough to make a selection.

New Dedicated vs. using the common bandwidth
Repeaters double up on bandwidth usage by, well, repeating over the public channel to the base. Back channel is dedicated to remote usage and doesn't eat up the public channel.

Note: Not all mesh has a back channel.

I think its a fine solution to the problem that you probably shouldn't have.
