Yep, LinkSys made a cheaper one, but I like the Sirocco better for three reasons: 1. It works. 2. It has the Dolby 5.1. 3. No, really, it works! I spent a week fiddling with the LinkSys product, taking their customer support centre's advice, and never got satisfactory results. The Sondigo product just worked perfectly, right out of the box. My only gripe is that it only comes with Windows drivers; while I can hope somebody writes some Linux drivers soon, I think the onus is on Sondigo to ensure my Mac-owning housemates can hook up to it.
