I also already have RPi, it's nice for playing with Linux and quite cheap but yes, there are some drawbacks...
* Display port was messed up (missing one LVDS pair) so it's not possible to connect common LCD to it. Even if, there are no drivers and configuration to enable this output... One choice are smalled displays via SPI/GPIO and other via HDMI to RGB bridge.
* They boasted how much opensource it is but GPU is closed source, you have to pay licenses for mpeg2 decoder and don't have it fully under control. This is why I like 86duino that have coreboot opensource firmware.
