Can you get a OEM version for OSX. It's not like there are mac system builders?
There is not anything major in this release (I would argue spotlight was a big one in the last release though). There is a lot of developer stuff that makes this a good release for a Intel Computer since it contains multi-core apps and 64-bit apps.

On your point about it not being revolutionary - it's not supposed to be. Apple OS upgrades are evolutionary, not revolutionary. Microsoft favours the revolution approach ... and Vista is a cack-handed mess.
It has some nice touches I would like to have, such as the extension of the album art browser used in iTunes to the Finder, and the ability to roll back to older versions of files (how often I've done a 'save' and then wished I hadn't ... ). As you say though, I will wait a while and then hit eBay.
