You obviously lack experience with motorized devices for home theater. This deal is excellent, as long as it holds up over time. The challenge in this type of device is durability. That you won't know until these have been in the field for a couple of years past the warranty. By the way, what is the warranty? Quite an essential item to leave out, no?
Personally, I prefer this solution to the anamorphic lens approach for wider aspect ratio movies. There's much less equipment involved and no threat of image degradation from scaling artifacts, luminance reduction, focus errors, geometric distortion, chromatic aberation, white field non-uniformity, etc. Most of the commercial cinemas I've been in for years have used this method of re-sizing the screen for Cinemaqscope presentations.
