I have a pure 802.11G wireless network which I would have had to run in compatibility mode (802.11B) with the Soundbridge. I also wanted more active support for Slim Server which I like. They both seem to be in the same niche and have gotten good reviews I just felt better about the Squeezebox2 and its user community. I did not compare it to a Soundbridge in person so I am not saying it is better so just look at the features you need and either should be fine.
