I like the removable antenna option. I like the full Gigabit. Legitimate processing power. opensource support. Seriously, this is not that bad of a deal for $299, especially if they are going to include VLAN tagging/routing, or it is made available via DD-WRT. Plug in an external for a makeshift NAS with esata speed... too cool. Its nice to see a real response to the loss of the modding community to more open companies like Buffalo in recent years. Some of us enjoy networking, and having the hardware available to do it right.
