Choose between two Routers

If you had to choose between Cisco 1841 and Cisco 2611XM, What would you choose for the new ICND2 Curriculam?

I've already got an 1841 (256/64) for $125 free postage

I can get a 2611XM (128/32) for $40 free postage


Should I get more 1841s or 2611XM ok for the new CCNA V2?

    Can expand 2611xm more, port wise.
    1841 can run newer code (meh) .... would go for 2611 personally for studying.
    Lab:
    Combination of GNS3 and Cisco equipment if required.

    The 1841 is a great router but it has a small form factor (only 13.5 inches wide) so it isn't rackable in the normal sense (well, you could always buy these extra wide rack ears for it, of course) and it doesn't have a network module slot (the bigger slot on Cisco routers).
