802.11a Wireless

Linksys WAP54A Wireless 802.11a Access Point, $271 @ Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000066JQS

Requires Linksys WPC54A Wireless 802.11a PC Card to get 72Mbps, $117 @Amazon (otherwise 54MBps)

Anyone have real experience with 802.11a? At work we love the wireless, but the speed is noticable. Looking just at the Linksys hardware, for double the price you can get 7x the speed (5x if not using special NIC)?

Wondering how truthful that is???
