Just flashed my R7000 to the latest build and when I look at the wireless mode I do not see an option for Mesh - which is an option on my R7800's.
Is mesh not an option on the R7000 ?

Unfortunately no, R7000 is Broadcom hardware so for the WDS or Mesh modes they will not function or exist.

Recommended: R7800 (XR450/XR500), R7500v2, EA8500 (serial flash), R9000 (R8900/XR700), x86 (J4125).

I have no idea if OSLR will work per this wiki, but I think this is the only "Mesh" networking that Broadcom *may* support.

Ah, didn't realise the different chipsets in the kit.
If I get an answer on the WPA, I may look at getting another R7800 then
