Ok,

I love the idea of Time Capsule. It is a simple solution, but it is pricey.

Now that Airport Extreme N has air disk working (it does right), would it be better to:

Spend $500 and get Time capsule 1 TB

or spend $175 on Airport Extreme plus $200 on a 1 TB USB drive = $375

With the update Airport Extreme had, is an Airport Extreme with USB drive as seamless a solution pretty much as Time Capsule?

The money saved as well as having the hard drive separate (good for potential failure down the road and ability to use larger drive in future) is what has me pointing in that direction, unless Time Capsule is a more seamless solution?
