I really like the multi-touch gestures on the magic mouse. How does this compare?

Gestures are a lot easier to perform because you aren't going to give your hand carpal tunnel in the process.

Yeah, I haven't tried it in person yet, but this is my perception as well. Some of the gestures on the Magic Mouse are a bit difficult to accomplish, because you have to somehow hold to mouse steady while tilting your wrist in an unnatural fashion.

I might swing by the Apple Store this afternoon to test one out.

I just tested out the Trackpad, it seems much better than the Magic Mouse. After playing with them both, I think I'll be buying a Magic Trackpad and not getting the Magic Mouse.
The Magic Trackpad performs exactly like the Trackpad on the latest MacBook Pros. The advantage is that it is slanted at the same angle as the newer Apple keyboards and that the size is bigger. And, it goes without saying, but if you have your MBP on a stand of some sort, and want to use a Bluetooth Keyboard & Magic Trackpad, it'd go great (as you don't need to reach for the MBP keyboard or trackpad.
