problem is that clients see too many APs and won't always connect to the nearest AP.
Just tried the "hide ssid" option, and no one could see the SSID at all.
If your clients can see to many access points, you need to reduce the number of access points in the area, or decrease the power of all access points.
Local-Probe-Threshold-Response will not do anything for you. That feature is to attempt to keep a device from attaching to a very, very weak access point on the other side of the room, usually in an environment that is not dense.
Client roaming decisions, no matter how much we try to influence them, are ultimately made by clients. All we can do is encourage them. Local-Probe-Thresh-Response is the wrong feature for you.
