Dlink DIR 655 or Trendnet TEw633 GR

I am looking to replace my flaky WRT54GL which looks to be on its last legs. Need a router than be mounted in the attic and cover all 1400 sq ft of my house. Mostly going to be used for heavy downloading and movie streaming. The linksys craps out when I hit my download max(30MBps) and I have to reboot it to get it to work again.
 
If you have a CC nearby, they just went to 50% off networking today, saw the DIR-655 for $55
 
It's hard to keep track, because the vendors keep on changing the internals, but AFAIK, the two routers are very similar, but the D-Link has had an internal heatsink where the Trendnet didn't, so the D-Link might be better from that perspective.
 
I've had the trendnet since it came out (ver1.0) based on the AT review. Not a single problem with it and very fast, even with a linksys wireless-N card.
