All the cat 5 cable did was carry the audio signal to the other amp. Cat 5 cable was used since it's inexpensive and I already had it. In my friends setup the SB3 is connected to his primary stereo and we piggybacked on the audio from his SB3 to feed another amp. It doesn't matter if the SB3 is connected wired or wireless. It's an inexpensive option if you can run the cable v.s. buying an Airport Express or an additional SB3.
In you original post I thought you were debating on either a SB3 or Airport Express and I threw in a third option. If it was my setup I would go with a second SB3 as it's a more flexible setup i.e. have players in sync or playing different music. But for my friend cost was an issue.
