Congrats on making a choice! I labored over my decision for months. I was just sick of dealing with all my content from a work MBP that I had to take with me each morning, and couldn't leave at home.

I have been testing various encoding settings over the last few days with my new mini, and I am getting artifacts from HD-DVD to m4v conversion with Handbrake's High Profile settings even at RF 18. I am very surprised to find that I prefer the 720p ATV2 encoding of HD-DVDs to the the higher-res High Profile encodings. This makes me feel good about sticking with 720p AppleTV 2 units in my bedroom and living room, and keeping the mini for server and workstation duty. I will hook it up to the TV for foxsoccer.tv, Hulu, and live America's Cup streaming that still requires Flash.

I am still tempted by the Blackmagic stuff, especially the UltraStudio 3D, as much for the XLR audio as the framerate support for HDMI.

My research also found some Matrox products that support Thunderbolt, but I can't tell yet if they support extended desktop video, or just video monitor output in specialized applications like FinalCut Pro, Avid, and Premier.
