I had considered this initially, but I started getting confused 
trying to figure out which routers supported this natively. And I 
did not want to go down the path of using dd-wrt or tomato, but 
that was primarily because I have no experience with either.

But I guess I should reconsider that.

Is tomato as easy as they claim it is? For something that I don't 
work on frequently, ease of configuration is a must have.
