"He called it a router." 
Nice, if the client is willing. I agree with you in concept, but I can only get people to spring for $500 components if they're serving commerce or other business-critical needs. Most are willing to power cycle junk once a week, and without some idiot firing up a torrent the consumer junk runs for awhile.
BTW, I've noticed a marked improvement in reliability of cheapo Linksys/Buffalo/etc. by switching to open or dd-wrt and a bit of buffer tweaking.
