[Cube] AirPort Extreme BS or AirPort Express?

[csearles at t-online.de]

Take a closer look at the specs on Apple's web site. As far as I've
understood, the Airport Express is essentially an Airport Extreme Base
Station Lite, i.e. it has the same basic functionality as the Airport
Extreme BS, but can only handle up to 10 users. In addition, of course,
it has the iTunes streaming capabilities which is also something someone
would want more on a home network than in a professional business
setting.

So, if you're on a home network with less than 10 computers and would
like to stream your music, go for the Airport Express. It's literally
that simple.

Now that I have the Mini, I'm going to replace my old white AirPort Base
Station (If anybody would like mine, e-mail me offlist).  Should I get
an Extreme Base Station or the Express?  I can't figure out what the
advantages or disadvantages for the Express might be: Is it just for
piping iTunes around?  Not sure I understand the concept.  All of my
computers have iTunes, so?
