Personally, I think one of my Linksys routers was going a little funny. Getting the Linksys boxes entirely out of the WiFi equation makes me feel better (though one is doing DHCP and DNS duties, sans WiFi of course). And the EDGE box with the high gain antennas originally on one of my Linksys routers covers my house just as well as the WDS mesh was doing with less dropouts. That D-Link box is similar to the IP60 we sold independently of Check Point: basically the same box with a different color scheme and different UI.

Love CP, not a fan of EDGE boxes, especially the licensing issues they've always had and how their support is completely different from CP support. Oh, forgot to mention how you have to manually put files on the SCS for new versions of EDGE software. Check this out: http://d-link.com/products/?sec=2&pid=480 No, it doesn't work with SCS. Been there, done that. GUI is even the same, just with silver, blue, and green instead of orange, white, and blue of CP.
