Glad to hear you got a SH2 sorted as well. I'm glad I posted now.

My SH2 arrived this morning as promised, and I have to say it's much better than the SH1 already. It's nicer looking and nicer to handle than the SH1, though it's way too light - it tries to fall over due to the weight of the coax and ethernet cables, unless you balance it just right on the shelf/table.
Still, I got all our devices (except the awkward tablet) on 5GHz and my desktop (Debian) gigabit ethernet. Looks OK to me!
