Regarding to Arduino "UNO" I think (at least, for the ATmega328) is a mistake and you pay more (at least, at the retailer) for less.
With the old board (having FTDI chip) you had included an USB programmer. You had been able to program a clean/empty ATmega328 and many other external ATmega chips. With this FTDI replacement, you can't anymore and an external ATmega programmer is required when you start hacking (as you are encouraged on Arduino blog [official] and forum[user driven]). But this reveal another big problem: if you burn wrong fuses, how you will revive that little SMD ATmega8u... chip because the only workable procedure is with a high voltage (12V) parallel programmer. Maybe that chip is of a new generation, beginner proof? Anyway giant with feet of clay this time. A good advice for fans is to grab fast an old version, which have FTDI chip on board - an Arduino Mega with 128kb flash is enough for many advanced projects. sorry about off topic.
