The reality is, unless OP has AC equipment, he won't see any advantage to the AC router, it's exactly the same but supports Wireless-AC. It won't have better range or throughput or anything like that unless it's paired with AC equipment.
There's also something else to consider - the fault reports of the SH2AC. It's hard to grasp how many are becoming faulty, partly due to the NDA of the testers, but enough people have mentioned it to be a concern. So if there's no AC equipment, it'd definitely be better to stick with the existing SH2.

Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? 
As far as I know, the OP was offered a free shub2ac to replace his (possibly faulty) shub2. Seems an easy decision to me ..
I had a problem with my shub2 which required a replacement plus I know a couple of people who have a shub2ac and so far have had no issues with them.
