display is indeed not the best of its class on the acer, but more than enough for my needs, videos in hd are playing perfectly fine, games might not be great (I am not a player)
Mine is not sluggish AT ALL. My neighbour got an asus and we compared yesterday, my acer was indeed quicker since it got the update to 3.1 which the asus had too btw. My neighbour now wants to exchange his asus for an acer, he was green when he realised that plus the specs (2Usbs + micro SD) of the acer
I like it. it is certainly not the best, but I enjoy the specs and the device, so for me it was a good decision, I don't think it is outclassed nor the best, but it is quite good and probably a good budget decision for many users.

Maybe the casing discussion is personal preference. It just felt heavier and less solid to me, but again, that is personal. I do prefer it to the Xoom case though, because I hate the weight distribution on that device. I guess I just like the Asus, Galaxy Tab, ipad 2, and Thrive casings better.
As far as responsiveness, I'm sure your experience is more accurate than mine since I've only used display units. I was just giving my impressions based on playing around at the tablet center in Office Depot and Best Buy.
It's also important to take price into consideration. As far as value goes, the Asus at $50 cheaper than the Acer wins out. But, the Acer is a much better value than tablets like the Xoom.
