True, though keep in mind that, AFAIK, video output for the PVR 350s may not
be supported in the future (currently I don't believe anyone is working on
it, and so unless someone steps up, it'll go unsupported).  I could be
wrong, though, so it's something to check in to.

It also depends on if you want to set up slave backends, or just throw
everything in one big master.  I went with the latter option, since that
means I don't need coax at any of the frontends.  But with those 350s, slave
backends are certainly something to consider.
