I've played with both.
You're right, Pi is perfect if you want to build a 1080p internet streaming media centre, but not really suited to this kind of application.
As sad as it is to say, I wouldn't recommend going to Maplins, in my experience they're grossly overpriced and unfortunately don't have any tech know how to advise on components ..etc which might warrant the extra £s
What you really need is to know someone at a tech college or uni that can order at a reasonable price through parts store for you - let me know when you find someone
