Mark your strategy makes sense to me.
For now don't announce LS to the world, it is currently a developer version
and as long as it does not provide the basic features to be usable
by non technical users, provides stability and correct audio playback
of at least 95% of the available sample libraries we should not announce
LS anywhere except in developer circles (this list and possibly LAD).

The fact that the GUI I'm writing runs on on multiple platforms
(written in Qt thus runs on Windows and Mac too) will probably be very 
beneficial for those that want dedicate entire PCs to LS.
The cheap price of hardware is a big plus for us.
For the price of windows xp + a good softsampler you can buy a relatively
powerful PC with a soundcard (perhaps even a 24bit card like the m-audio delta
 cards which start from $200-$250).
Powerful hardware cheaper than commercial software .... silly :-)

LS .... the poor man's "Hans Zimmer Studio" :-)

cheers,
Benno
