I have a linksys wrt310N and have dd-wrt running. It is awesome. Similar to to the Tomato firmware.
Basically this means getting similar functionality as the 3200 in a much cheaper box. If you don't want to do the firmware swap then you can't go wrong with the 3200. I like being able to monitor the signal strength of my devices as well as monitor what is hooking up to the system.
**I forgot to say that you probably don't need the 5ghz range in the 3200 anyway because you probably don't have any 5ghz devices.
