I paid $303 shipped.

I've seen them online from between what I paid and $450

Of course, the big difference is that the Netgear doesn't cache anything, so the Apple may be slightly better value on paper since it comes with a 40Gb drive. But in reality I found the caching to be annoying as I have everything on my lan anyway.
