Choosing Comcast modem/router

I am looking at two models-Motorola 6580 ($130), Motorola 6141 ($80) and 6121 ($65.00). Any high recommendations is greatly appreciated.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/284715/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_e_1_4_last shows these in the top spots so at this point you are looking at evenly matched horse racing. I would not give a nod of one over the other.

However I think buying such is an exercise in economics. That is, renting is fine since a lightning strike on yours verses theirs means either you fix or they fix. Also, if your cable modem is not working, you can't expect full support.
