Actually an ION2 will deinterlace some things a Haswell GPU won't in Linux, like VC1. But in general the ION2 never had the power to really use the best VDPAU de-interlace settings so a Chromexbox would be a better experience overall easily including de-interlacing something like live TV. I have two ION2 rigs (all with SSDs and lots of ram and tweaked) but the Chromebox just creams them for a Kodi experience.
Really very few people need more than a Chromebox.
