The tradeoff of course is the terrible resolution, ...

Solved in the consumer version which is still being worked on (at least 1080p in each eye).

1080p in each eye is hardly enough to 'solve' the resolution problem. There is a fundamental tradeoff between FOV and effective resolution - a reason why other manufactures haven't attempted full human FOV. For a linear display its something like 8k x 4k per eye for a full FOV HMD to have HDTV equivalent resolution.
