Hawk,
I realize this a little old now but I thought I'd post my experience in-case others are looking. It would be good to hear from someone with a Duo v2.
I have a Duo 1 and am running almost all of what you want including:
* BitTorrent
* Web based file manager
* Stream audio/video via DNLA (to Smart TV)
* Run a squeezebox server to stream music
* Run a simple website
I had to upgrade the amount of RAM to 1GB to run all that stuff and the bit torrent client sometimes falls over if there is lots going on at the same time (streaming video, downloading torrents and using the squeezebox web app). Considering It cost me around $150 with two 500GB disks I think it is awesome but I now only have around 50GB left on the RAID I am considering something a little bigger. I definitely don't want an x86 nas because the the high power consumption but think an ARM based nas might be just right.
