You can also get a Robotics Cape for your BBB and it will give you all the features of the BBBlue except for the WiFi. You'll then maintain your Ethernet interface.
By the way, the BBBlue uses a PRU for the 4th encoder. It may be possible to use the Robotics Cape software without a Robotics Cape and use the appropriate pins on the BBB headers for the 4 channels of encoder (3 hardware, 1 PRU). You'll just need to do some level shifting if your encoders are higher than 3.3V logic.
