Interesting that the Mini 9 has a newer and faster processor with streaming media extensions and 2 generations newer graphics and you are saying the ATV is better?
What's under the hood vs. real-world usage are two completely different things. I have fun with my mini. It was worth it solely vs. a portable dvd player for the kids. Everything else is icing. It's fun to tinker, but it's no top-to-bottom media solution for sure. In addition to what I listed below, I also have to deal with resolution issues as I have the mini running through HDMI to my receiver and out to the tv. My tv is mounted on the wall with conduit for cabling. No room for VGA, and I didn't want to add even more complexity to my system anyway. ATV is made for TV.
