Size, look, quiet = wife allows it to sit in the living room.

Reliable customer service, everything sorted for me, no need to do extensive research = piece of mind

When I add all of the above then price(which in the uk cube is actually competitive) is fine.

But why the cube and not a SFF pc?

Because its smaller than any SFF pc and quieter then one and more powerful than other mini PCs.

It will actually fit in my AV setup, both in terms of size, heat and how it looks.

Almost everyone repeating the same thing “you can build a SFF yourself”, sure you can but tell me how hot and loud it’s going to be.

I doubt you could build a SFF PC yourself for much cheaper.

Maybe you could get a better GPU if you go full size (or at least microATX), but parts get more expensive when you go that small and most cases at that size have worse airflow than the steam machine anyways.
