will there be any disadvantage over using the version described in this thread here?
I am using the same device you do (AD10)
PS: just to note, I installed according to the instructions here and think it should be noted in the first post (not somewhere hidden in the second post) that there are issues with USB keyboards with 13.10 (did you come across this problem as well?) and you need to install 13.04 first.
I also had an issue installing grub to a partition (sdaX instead of sda) with the mini installer, I tried fixing it from a different ubuntu install (12.10) on the same drive, tried with boot repair live disc and even the 13.04mini install rescue mode (mounting the "broken" partition) to try to install grub again, in the end I installed a 13.04 (full, not mini) on another partition, mounted the "broken" partition and fixed it from there, which worked.
One thing I did notice after the installation is that it boots up faster than the official XBMCBuntu, even though both are on the same SSD.
