Q: Want 802.11ac and Airplay in same room

What I'd like is to put an Airport Extreme in my upstairs living room to have access to 802.11ac but I want to be able to use airplay in that same space!  I am also considering putting an Airport Express in each of the bedrooms in my house to allow for streaming of music..  would that just be too much wi-fi coverage for a such a small area?  In particular, I'd need to put the Extreme and Express side by side in the main part of my house.. 

 

Is there a better solution?  Should I perhaps just give up on the idea of an Airport Extreme and just populate the rooms that I want to stream music to with their own Express units (each will have access to a cat6 connection to my network)..

 

I figure just as soon as I buy those 4 express units Apple will release an updated version that supports ac..  generally that is how it works for me! 

 

Thanks!
