It seams that the Box fits your needs because you don't require HD-Audio Passtheough and you never play 25Hz/29.97Hz interlaced video and you don't need 3D. Imagine you want to sell this Box on Ebay. How would you describe it?

HD Audio might work if your AVR is compatible
3D might work if your AVR is compatible
The Box blocks HDMI CEC function of all other devices
25Hz/29.97Hz especially interlaced movies are played like strobo light effect which means an impressive stuttering
BD menu playback is far away of that what a BD player does

You could buy an used old Tizzbird F20 for less than half of the price. WelI it desn't support 3D. But it can do HD audio passthrough without compatibility restrictios, plays 25Hz/29.97Hz movies without any stuttering. This is a single core machine with Android 2.6!

I don't think Joe and Mary Everydayuser really care too much about this kind of stuff. Typically they just want something that generally works. The things a lot of guys in this thread are getting at are the intimate details of all file types and such. Usually that kind of person will have someone set it up for them. Advanced users are the ones who are usually more nitpicky about all this stuff and spend all kinds of hours researching it, etc.
