Very interested to see how this goes, I'm over in NZ, not in Oz unfortunately, but would be interested in trying out some of this given the limited alternatives that are currently available and/or the very beta status of some of them.
FWIW - there is/was a patch for the Xecuter2 BIOS to enable the HD+ to work as well but yeah, if we can get the various teams to work together to support these solutions then everyone wins.
