I get that it has a few extra features like the USB stuff, but all I want is for my laptop to be on the Net when I'm out of wifi range and I have that for free.

Well, if that's the sort of tethering you're after, then you're right - why pay the money. But if you're trying to tether with devices such as a ipod Touch, or a non-connected Pocket PC, or a netbook without bluetooth (and without a USB cable), then this solution is much more flexible.
