The biggest problem for the near future is availability.  One vendor
sent an email to say the R-Pi would be shipping soon!  and by "soon!"
it meant 2 months away.

At this point, if you want 100 of them, that's about 1% of their
supply, and I'd expect they're swamped with orders for months to come.
 It's going to be hard to get very many of them.

My guess: It should work well for the price and specs as long as you
can wait 6 or so months.
