Out of curiosity are you exclusively using the 5Ghz band? I did the same in my 850sqft condo and it was terrible in the far reaches.

Once I moved to the 2.4Ghz band in the bad areas I was getting full coverage.

Before you buy another AP, try playing around with band channels in case the channels you're using are close to saturation. (Note: I'm not an expert in this area, and I've only read about it in passing)
