Take the same route and save your money.
For SOHO use, any cheap Linksys is good. It's the same company that makes the $10,000 Cisco datacenter routers, just without some features that you wouldn't use.

For a somewhat larger office with a serious geek on staff, Cisco branding means it's too good to sell as a Linksys.

I've bought switches, not even routers, that cost $xx,xxx. I've built routers from scratch. Our office runs on a cheap Linksys because it's well matched to the task. Anything more would just be turning power into heat and noise without any benefit.
