What's the downsides to Rabbit, Kevin ?

Taking a look at the site, you're right, the basic board is rather cheap
($55 for the RCM2250).

However, as a total new-guy to this stuff, I'm correct in saying that I'd
need to create a PCB with power etc when I get past the point of using the
prototype board? I couldn't see anything of that nature on the Rabbit
website - which, is entirely possible, as I assume you're likely/supposed
to
have stuff other than just power (e.g user control inputs) on your
mainboard
(ie it'll be mothered to something application specific)

The Ethernut board (I hate to go back to it - it's just that what I've been
reading about over the weekend) has all that already on the PCB - but it's
more expensive because of that.
