Would be all over it if it had 5 Ghz activated Still a great deal if you only need 2.4.
Tomato used to be the choice if you wanted USB (the usb fork, anyway) and/or better QoS. DD-WRT has added both (as far as I know), but I always found Tomato's GUI better (I like the USB Red theme, myself: http://ps.nd.e-wro.pl/remote_pics/tomato_screen.gif). And the QoS still seems more advanced, but I've only glossed over DD-WRT in the last few years as I started there, then converted to the Tomato camp.Awesome router. I have DD-WRT on mine. Any reason to choose Tomato over DD-WRT?

DD-WRT does seem to have slightly more features overall and Tomato plus the TomatoUSB (http://tomatousb.org/) fork haven't been updated much lately.
I run Toastman's TomatoUSB builds on my N16 (which are constantly updated; some buggy, some not): http://www.4shared.com/dir/v1BuINP3/Toastman_Builds.html
Wish I could fine a person who has tried a multi hdd enclosure on the router..
DD-WRT trumps Tomato as far as features are concerned. They have a more pleasing GUI interface as well. One feature especially that I like in DD-WRT is the auto DDNS capability for dynamic IPs.
