Propeller Platform Could Really Use a Variant Like This

The Propeller Platform is great, as are the modules available for it. My favorite is the servo control module, but the AV and OctoDriver modules are useful as well. Essentially from my point of view the was parity between the Arduino and Gadget Gangster's Propeller Platform.
But I recently saw this Arduino variant which looks pretty sweet:
Previous robot specific Arduino variants (e.g. Roboduino) didn't have shield compatibility, so they didn't catch on. This board has the ability to control a robot, support push button input, and use a shield. That and it can be bought for only slightly more than a vanilla Arduino.
Granted Parallax's robot control board is close, but it lacks push buttons, or the ability to stack a module on it.
