So, do I buy the new one now and replace my existing one and if I do, what will get better? I'll decide if it is worth it after I hear from a few folks *:-) Thanks for listening.

I noticed the following footnote on the apple site wrt to new Extreme: "Speed and range will be less if an 802.11a/b/g product joins the network." Does this mean that when my 802.11g Airport Express stations connect to the new Extreme, the whole network will have to run at a slower speed?
