Yeah-- quite honestly, like you said, this is a nice first step. Personally, I believe this will eventually replace SCE completely. Microsoft recently released System Center Advisor, too, which is a cloud-based monitoring system (say, OpsMgr).

I think it looks like a nice first-step but seems pricey and not quite full-featured. For instance, can't initiate a Forefront a/v scan without actually connecting to the remote machine. But the interface and hardware/software inventory functions seems good.
