I am a sucker for all things Apple and their recent refresh of the Airport Express has left me wondering what is the point of this device and do many people even use it?

I have a 5 zone airplay system in my home and used the ethernet to connect a tivo in the basement. With the old version if I switched the Express to extend a network the tivo transfers would slow to a crawl. Leaving it on Join a wireless network tivo transfers where fast but I would get drop outs with my outdoor speakers because my phone was out of range. Will the new one solve my problem? Thanks.
