The R7000 hovers around 930Mbps WAN/LAN using stock firmware. However, the stock firmware is unstable. Many, many people reporting having to reboot it every 2 or 3 days, if it doesn't crash on its own.
I got great performance out of the R7000 when it was stable but it just wasn't stable.
That's why I wouldn't recommend it. The Asus has slightly worse performance but it seems to be a lot more stable. The R7000 works great with DD-WRT but it doesn't have hardware acceleration (yet) so you can't get WAN performance above about 300Mbps.
That being said, when it comes to my wireless needs, I'm enjoying the Linksys.
I've done over 2TB of backups this weekend and it's only hiccup'd once. It's really performing well for me.
