I do like the standardization too. The Frantz Orduino is nice high end solution, but if I want to play with new firmwares, I don't want to hack in a lot of code for digital pot settings, etc.
My vote is for the current connectors rather than terminal blocks. It is the same as RAMPS and it makes it a cleaner setup.
I also vote against built in stepper drivers. That just drives up the cost and those things do blow occasionally.
I think the best feature is the simplicity and price. It only cost a few dollars more than an Arduino Mega.
