Hi, I'm thinking of getting Airport Express, but is it a good time to get one? Or should i wait after WWDC when possibly a new Express is announced? Do you think it's plausible ?

I have not seen any rumors about a new Express, but it is getting pretty old and does not have AC wifi so an update might be coming. If it was me, and I could wait, I would wait for WWDC.

Or buy something with the same or equivalent features and save yourself a ton of money.

I'm not sure they'll update airport express to 802.11ac this year because the main reason to buy the more expensive airport extreme is the support for the new standard.
But next month at WWDC they'll probably introduce the new Apple TV and maybe it could be a wireless router as well (so a merge between AppleTV and airport express), so I'd wait for WWDC before buying one.
