[Macpartners] question re Airport Extreme base station

[Gurukarm Khalsa]

I have a user who needs to replace an older Airport base station at 
home, and I'm a bit confused about which of two stations as shown on 
the Apple MIT B2E store website is her correct solution.

Of course I need to save money for our department (this is for a 
departmental laptop she uses when working from home), so the Airport 
Express Base Station with AirTunes for $119.00 is more attractive 
than the AirPort Extreme Base Station (with modem and antenna port) 
for $179.00.

But, do the two items do essentially the same tasks? Would she be 
able to connect her laptop wirelessly with the Airtunes version?

Thanks!
