My main concerns with smart TVs are: 1) the smart TV experience is different among different brands, and 2) I like the idea of keeping the streaming technology on a separate upgrade path from the display technology.
The smart TV experience is different among different models, very different among different brands. Sticking with one brand might not make things as uniform as you'd like. (Also, this might be an advantage only for the installer, as customers simply have to use whatever they're presented with.)

Streaming box for the consistency of the interface alone.
Consistency for us or for the client? We see a lot of products, the vast majority of our clients see one to maybe three. This is a slight advantage for the client as we will more easily troubleshoot equipment we install more often.
