IMO:
-T1042 is better for low cost product / low end, DIU interface should be usefull in embedded & battery powered use.
-T2081 is 4x more powerfull (if we get good multicore support), but it requires GPU and SATA
-The most important HW need on PPC niche is to have affordable new hobby HW. Affordable like some game console that is bought for fun. But it's very nice if the design scales to T2081 with minimal HW modification.
Perhaps, if/when design and prototypes are done, the CPU for production could be decided via some preorder system (/kickstarter).
(the solution with more preorders/backers would be produced, with enough interest both could be done)
