Great assessment. The average consumer workload doesn't merit automatically tiered storage. The two workloads you've mentioned are prime candidates.
Virtualization especially - it sucks that I've got 20 gigs of virtual disk sitting on SSD right now when I need only a fraction of those blocks on fast disk to make the VM really responsive.
