Hate to say it, but a two SB Touch/three Airport Express one bedroom apartment here (I know, I know) and at this point the later is getting a lot more use. All depends where your music is sourced, but system-wide iOS device streaming is what pushed me over to the Apple solutions. Wish a laptop/desktop on was unnecessary for all (non-local file) streaming with the Touch. Course if your situation is even slightly different none of what I'm saying applies.
