Well, yes, there is. Two different platforms, different firewalls, mean
that no single attack vector can be used on both of them.
I wouldn't recommend the BEFSR41 line, though. Get a WRT54G/WRT54GL and
load either Tomato or DD-WRT. Much more capable than the native
firmware, and free to boot. (Or to run...joke...)

That's effectively what you're doing with the free firmware on
commercial firewalls, without the need to maintain another full OS and
usually in a very much smaller physical package.
$0.02, YMMV, etc.
