Just saw the CM1200 at $179 at best buy, about $30 more than the CM1000, any compelling reason to get the CM1200? I see Best Buy doesn't carry the CM1100, strange.

The 1200 is about the same accept with additional WAN ports which ports 3 and 4 are for ISP address assignment only!!! These are not LAN IP address assigned ports in case you are curious.
