Airport Express or Extreme?

I'm planning a simple setup: Mac 21.5, email, printer, some music. My internet comes through modem and Ethernet cable.

To unclutter my table, I want everything to go through Airport. But which one will do the job? Hate to pay extra hundred green ones for something that is perhaps overkill. Need your advice on that. Thanks.

both do the same thing but the express only has one ethernet jack on the back. I've got 2 computers nearby so I needed the extreme as opposed to just going with the express.

The Extreme cannot do Airtunes, only the Express can.
