He's a salesman just doing his job. There's nothing particularly standout about the extreme to justify its price other than how compact it is while including an internal HDD. If your router works fine, keep using it. When it stops working like you want, come back here, and we can discuss routers, but as far as getting the best performance for the least money, it will probably never be your answer.



Well the airPort and the iMac both have wireless N. But I don't know if that alone justifies buying a new one considering his other devices don't.

You mean 802.11ac?

As far as getting the AirPort Extreme, I have the last gen and an AirPort Express as a wireless bridge. It works very well. The reason I went with the AirPort Extreme is because I have mostly all Apple devices as well and my old router would not handle >10 devices connected at a time. There are better options out there though that are either cheaper and just as good or better, or more expensive and considerably better. That said, the AirPort Extreme is not a bad router by any stretch of the imagination. Managing it (on the rare occasion) is really simple too with the AirPort Utility iOS app.
