I just can't see myself going back to a 802.11g device, especially on the cusp of ac shipping.

For people like Doug with nice open space and not that much wireless around G probably still works great. I seem to be going the opposite direction and living in more crowded places. I have to use 5GHz N for the chance at reaching my 20mbit internet speeds in all spots of my apartment. Just too much competition in the 2.4GHz space due to the lack of channels.
