I just bought one of the netgate kits but haven't had time to play with it. The closed source atheros driver is definitely a strike against them, my impression about the lower cost RouterStation is that it does not have the same chipset(thus you can do port based vlans).
I'll be playing with mine this week and let you know if I find anything exciting. Oh and the lower cost RS does come with openwrt installed.
