The problem with the Express, and the main justification for the overpriced Extreme, is that the little guy will not offer DHCP or routing to wired clients. I went round and round with this, expecting it would be as functional as my first-generation Airport base station. I wound up taking it to a genius bar, where they resorted to the special-red-phone to consult with the oracular applecare deities, who quickly told me I was SOL.
The other thing that bugs me to no end about Airport software is the inability to forward more than 20 individual ports (not ranges), across the whole local network. That's a completely arbitrary number, and especially on the Extreme, it's unjustifiable. I filed a bug on it which was, of course, closed.
