I half way agree with you.  I think the SBC makes a good playback
device as long as you are using a set of powered speakers or less in
quality.  In other words. there's not much difference between listening
to an SBC or a SBR over a set of powered speakers.  Since that's all I
have down stairs where I workout, I find the SBC perfect for there. 
I've moved the SBR to other places.  Of course I also use the SBC when
walking the dog, etc.. I don't have any issue with reliability of the
SBC or sound quality through powered speakers or ear buds/head phones. 
Ever since using SC 7.3 beta I have always noted the stable updates and
related SBC firmware so that if a stinker comes out I can fall back.

Back to the point though, anywwhere where I might use a less expensive
audio set up, I wouldn't hesitate to use a docking device and the SBC. 
The garage, basement or in the back yard are ideal for me.
