Looking at 2 routers, both are from Asus and have the same model number but they seem to be quite different.

Draft:

Non-Draft:

The non draft gigabit router is faster than the first router on your list. It also carried the latest firmware since it's non draft.

Assuming the board revision is the same, then they will be identical except for older firmware (which you can update) on the "draft" one.

You'll want to throw out the crappy stock firmware for some TomatoUSB goodness anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
