Bridge options

[Eccles]

I have a single NetGear ME102 WAP on my LAN, serving one remote iMac and two laptops. I would like to add wired network connectivity to my lounge room entertainment system for use by my TiVo and an impending mp3 player, but I don't wish to run cable to that room, so I'm looking at wireless bridging options.

I have looked at the Linksys WET11 and Dlink DWL-810, which both appear to provide the sort of capability that I'm looking for, with a minimum of fuss.(*) However, I am also considering the possibility of using a second ME102 set to Access Point Client mode, which would provide the same end result. In fact, I'm leaning towards this option for the following reasons:
[list=1][*]The ME102 could be redeployed as a second WAP - or even reconfigured to genuine bridge mode - if my topology needs change down the track,
[*]The ME102 can be bought as cheaply as, if not cheaper than, the WET11 or DWL-810,
[*]I already have the ME102 configuration client on my workstation, so that's one less piece of software I'd need to install, and
[*]Apart from the Apple Airport in the iMac, all my other networking gear is NetGear, and I happen to like their equipment and would just as soon stick with them if all else is equal.[/list=1]
So I guess I'm looking for comments before I lay down my hard-earned cash. Does anyone have any first-hand experience with this sort of topology? Any suggestions or pitfalls to avoid?


(*) Correct me if I'm wrong, but the WET11 and DWL-810 aren't genuine "bridges." A true wireless bridge setup only connects disparate networks together point-to-point or point-to-multipoint, and does not service wireless clients as well. Rather, these machines are actually wireless clients with an RJ11 connection - another triumph of marketing-speak over technical correctness.
