I have a Chromecast currently, biggest issue for me is that it doesn't support 5 GHz (which matters a lot in a crowded city like San Francisco.) My 2.4 GHz signal is awful.

The remote is a nice addition, assuming the UI is good. Using Chromecast with services like Netflix is sometimes pretty painful (Not always clear how to change the episode you're watching, if it's even possible. Unclear how to turn the dang thing off so it isn't just on some show, etc)
