Cisco 350 vs cheaper brands

I was hoping someone with expeience might help with a question.

I am going to have to add wireless capability to an existing network for a friend. So, I know that I could buy something like a linksys access point for about $80. I am also looking at the cisco which seems to go for about $350. My question is this

What ist the real difference between the cisco and the cheaper ones ?

Thanks
