In the interest of full disclosure, the RBS40V ($100) is an AC2200 device and will be marginally slower than the $240 RBS50 (an AC3000 device). The difference won't be noticable for almost all usage conditions.
The bang for the buck definitely favors RBS40V.

Thanks, feels weired to get when it seems that RBW30 should be the cheaper/better option for what I need.. it feels that you take away the speaker and it should be cheaper no?
sad netgear is pricing the simple satelight so high... I can't find the RBW30 anywhere so I guess I should just get the RBS40V...
