Not really feasible to say unless you say how you use it and the nature
of your DSL service, distance from the exchange or CMUX etc. 

Most of what you get with the more expensive modem routers
is better performing wifi, but unless you say what you are using
wifi on, it isnt possible to say whether they can even get a better
result unless it's known if those devices can actually use the 
higher performing wifi modes. Plenty can't in which case the
higher performing modem router is a complete waste of money. 

And the other consideration is how soon you will have the NBN,
not a lot of point spending more than you have to on a DSL
modem router now only to be changing to the NBN unless it
can do that too and do that better than the cheaper NBN
modem routers can. Plenty can, particularly better than the
cheap and nasty modem routers that come free with the
NBN service from some of the cheapest NBN ISPs like TPG.
