The difference between the Airport Extreme and Express?

[Karvel]

Hello

Could someone please put simply what the differences are between the Airport Express and the Airport Extreme? (aside from the price 😉) Are they both suitable to be used as wireless ADSL broadband routers?

Thank you in advance
