tools: wireless router dilemma

The AirPort Express, with its ability to turn USB printers into wireless network printers, and streaming iTunes to a real stereo system, was right at the top of my To Buy List. Then Netgear came out with a wireless router that will allow me to share a USB drive (anything from hard drives to flashRAM keychain drives) with any machine on the network. Oh, Asus has one, too.

Update: SMC makes this one, which acts as a wireless access point, wifi LAN repeater, and ethernet bridge.
