It's a slightly newer revision but the same architecture (MIPS 24K). It's only when you move to newer architectures (e.g. MIPS 74K) that you see big differences in "per megahertz" performance. The newer gen new architecture CPU in the 3600 is 20-30% faster at the same clock speed than the AR7242 so any differences between the two revisions of the same architecture will be smaller than this.
The 2543ND can be had for about £38 apparently including delivery but most places sell it for about £45. The extra full-service wireless stream on that will give you slightly improved range and reliability even on devices that can only use 2 streams.
I still think the Superhub problem is due to it being confused by MAC/ARP/IP mismatches but you would have to use Wireshark or similar to diagnose it. And you *cannot* do this using the Superhub because it *is* a switch and not a hub.

If you want to talk size and built like tanks... How about a dozen HP 192-port 10/100 switches? That was our "pre-2007" hardware. Since then all our switches in new buildings are gigabit ported with two 10-gigabit uplinks on each floor
