In addition to Bob Timmons' link the main differences are as follows:

  1. Extreme has a slightly more powerful antenna (might not be true but from experience it seems to be)
  2. Extreme has USB HDD sharing
  3. Express has AirPlay
  4. Extreme has 3 Gigabit ports (don't be confused by Apple's page. Apple states 4 including WAN, 3 without WAN)
  5. Express is smaller
  6. Express has 10/100 Ethernet whereas Extreme has Gigabit
