It's very subjective. If you think you're going to use it a lot, abosultely order it. The systems is second to none in comparison to other manufacturers. But if your kids are approaching close to 10 years old, seriously consider just using tablets + holders. Good luck!
Ha ha, I would like to know how you plan to pull that one off. Not unless you enforce dictator like rules for when your kids are in the car when they are older could I see that happening in today's world of the need for infinite screens/devices every where you go. My current 12yo and 18yo hardly put their devices down, while in the car or not - and it has been that way ever since these devices (smart phones, mini game systems, etc) became available and popular. Good luck .....

That said, I do agree with your points #2 and #3, even though the the RSE seems like a well developed and integrated system.
