Here's what I know:

http://www.gossamer-
threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/406858?search_string=ION%20LE;#406858

That thread was back when I was trying to decide whether to buy the Revo with 
the "LE" version of the ION. I did buy it, but haven't set it up yet, as I'm 
waiting I get my new backend working.

$199 for an HD-capable low-power frontend seems pretty reasonable to me.
