Anyone tried using one of these as a full on router/NAT/gateway type box 
yet? The 4Gb model particularly. I'm very interested in using these as 
drop-in pfsense/opnsense type network appliances with a couple of USB > 
gigabit ethernet adaptors especially now the architectural weakness of 
the older models with the shared bus has been sorted out.

I don't have good history with RPis for doing "proper" work 
unfortunately, much as I love them. Stability sucks :[
