My second concern would be whether you're certain the newer larger internal SDHC with different partition sizes from the old one would allow for proper firmware updates? Not saying it wouldn't work, just wondering if it's been verified.
Well, to address your first concern, you need some technical skill to upgrade the internal SD card. You can't simply swap a new card in. This is mostly important for the Vox where storage space will run low very quickly. Hence the idea to offer that service.

As for firmware updates, those will work fine. The boot and system partitions are not modified in the procedure.

I won't be distributing their firmware in any way.
