As long as the 1720 comes with the power brick, for a home lab it's a toss up. If it doesn't come with the AC Power adapter, then you'd want to check the availability & pricing on those first before you bid.

The 1720 doesn't do 802.1q trunking even though it has a 100Mb Ethernet port. The 1720 is also a "desk mount" rather than a rack mount router.

The 2610 is more expandable, but only comes with a 10Mb Ethernet port.
