500Mbps powerline adapters have been promised since early this year by Netgear, but finally Trendnet shipped a 500Mbps powerline kit. I can't find any reviews though.

Would it be fair to believe if the 200Mbps theoretical adapters resulted in real world 40Mbps throughput that the 500Mbps theoretical adapters will result in real world ~100Mbps?
 
Belkin released a comparable device (F5D4076 aka Gigabit Powerline HD) last year that have gigabit ethernet nics. I tested them a while ago and remember they ran hot drawing several watts when idle. Benchmarks for F5D4076 are available online and expect to find throughput tests of these trendnet TPL-401E2K and TPL-401E soon too.
