Looked on the newegg link, the reviews mention having to upgrade via DD-WRT. Is this easy to do?

You don't have to upgrade to DD-WRT. You can and it's not that hard to but unless you really want or need to I would just leave it.

DD-WRT is just custom firmware with tons of options. It's not required at all, but if you're into tinkering you'll love it.

i just got a GL and I really like it. I considered the firmware upgrade, but for my uses its really not necessary.

It did have some kind of conflict with my modem, but I called Linksys support and they helped me very quickly, unexpectedly.
