Not sure the extra power makes a lot of difference to the educational
proposition but people will finally be able to get all those Pi media
centres running properly.

The media centres already run properly. See e.g. the Slice unit which was kickstarted a while back.

Personally, I would drop the ethernet and integrate wifi instead but
that's a minor gripe.

Make one with the Computer Module... There's already at least 2 "media centre" type things with the CM. (and that's Pi v1 technology)
