I don't think this is comparing apples with apples. The ATV is a $100 system and the Zotac is 2.5X the price, so of course it is probably going to be better in a lot of ways.
I have an ATV2 and since xbmc 10-09, I have had no issues with decoding 1080p x264 media. Even though the atv only outputs 720p, it looks stunning. You have to have a fairly big TV and be sitting close to notice anyway.
