It's as easy to manage, and in terms of security you can get the same level (and if someone is able to physically break-in, a NAS box is more easy and fast to unplug/carry than a desktop Workstation/File server). Even though it would imply to buy another PCIe controller (which is cheaper than a NAS enclosure).
most of us like to have a dedicated NAS Rig just to hold our DATA...
Everybody works different....
If it suits your need, then your happy, and everybody's happy....

I also have a seperate Linux box running Plex and LCDProc, and then a seperate Windows 7 machine for ServerWMC and MCEBuddy. Sure, one day I can virtualize all of it...but for right now, this is cool.
