Airport Express + extreme question

I just ordered an airport extreme because I've been tired of terrible wifi issues (partially because so many of my neighbors have wifi - 12+ access points show up) and wonder if also getting an airport express to work in tandem with the extreme would help. What I want to know is if the extreme + express combo is just using the express as a wifi repeater (similar to just using my extra dd-wrt flashed router as a repeater) or is there some proprietary/powerline magic going on. Is there any advantage to an express + extreme over using an extreme with an off brand router in repeater/bridge mode.

Thanks!
 
Easier to set up the Express probably, and the Express supports AirPlay (I think) so you can stream music and what not from your computer to your TV/Stereo.
