I myself look on the streaming card part as an unnecessary evil which I may or may not fit. If it causes problems I won't, if it causes no problems or enhances I will.
I am not sure if I would want to try to speak for 'most people', but the above does pretty much sum up how I feel about the streamer board. The thing that matters to me is the sound quality of the Pro. I listened to a Pro and found a surprisingly big jump in sound quality performance, that was good enough for me. If the streamer board turns out to be good, this will be a bonus, however I suspect that mine will simply stay in it's box and never be fitted. Time will tell.
