In addition to cutting cost of duplication you can offer more the customer for the same price. Instead of MLB/NHL on XM and NFL/NASCAR on Sirius you get all on one. Which should increase the customer base but there's probably a limit of how many people will pay for radio no matter how much you offer.
I've had mine for a month or two and love it. Besides the packet shaping (which I don't use heavily) the key benefit of this router is that it also includes gigabit ethernet for (of course) wired conenctions. When connected via ethernet I get a connection that can actually utilize the gigabit cards in my several laptops, workstations, and server.
It's a geek gadget for sure and only worth the extra $$$ if you're into these sort of things. I've enjoyed it, but if you just need a vanilla wireless router I can see why you wouldn't want to pay $120+ for it. And I don't think D-Link expects you too either; if you go to their consumer wireless router page you'll see it's not even listed. It's a niche product with a niche price...
I'm glad you're a 'Disney Junky', but this isn't a Disney movie.
It's by DreamWorks and part of its purpose is to make fun at Disney movies. Jeffrey Katzenberg would go out of his way to make Eisner or anyone else at Disney look bad or make fun of them.

Personally I'm an XM guy. O&A ROCKS!!!
