Funny you should mention that. CEC integration is much better on the Pi than on the shield IME. Kodi can't detect other CEC devices and allow to configure its behaviour on the shield (like pause video when switching channels on the TV, control what to do when sleeping, etc). Likewise with remotes, they work as well, if not better, on the Pi (you can even solder an IR receiver or emitter if you want). Of course, Netflix is another story, but that's because of DRM, and I decided long ago I wouldn't use any service with DRM.
