I have three of the Range extenders and with the new hub they appear to be useless. Almost all my zwave devices route directly to the hub. Those that don't chose a nearby switch or the all time favorite, an Eco-Net Water Valve. Oh well. Maybe they will play a future roll with the old C7 hub just not sure what.In the meantime seems their only role is to notify me when the power goes out at my house. Overkill?

Never! 
I have 4 that are pretty much idle at the current time.

I also have 2 and no longer any think connecting to. I use 1 of them in a rule to let me know house power is down (they change from "mains" to "battery" when power goes out at where they are plugged into) so I will keep them plugged in.
I did the antenna mod on my C7 Zwave hub a while back and nothing really routes through these repeaters. I am with @thebearmay as I specifically bought them to be notified for power outages or if say a specific circuit trips like the one running my freezers/fridges.

I'm keeping mine for using when power goes out (to trip shutdown routines)
