Well, the WRT54GL is a G device only, no N access so you won't get that speed pop if you need it.
the WRT54GL CAN be re-loaded with the third party firmwares like tomato and DD-WRT, which allows you to easily configure QOS and VPN and a whole host of additional functions. so THAT is a real benefit.
I don't think the E1200 is supported at least with DD-WRT, maybe tomato. If this sort of thing isn't an issue for you, I'd probably just go with the N router
