They are following in the footsteps of people like Comhem in offering a combined unit.

It's potentially a good idea, just in the case of the Superhub incredibly badly executed.
agreed, the 8 channel thing been dished out on here from VM staff is just a smokescreen really. It was a good idea to provide such a unit but to me the 2 main issues were.

1 - removing choice, forcing the unit on new customers and upgrades and without a bridge mode.
2 - releasing too early with testers telling VM its not ready and not functional enough.

I would have kept the vmng300 available as an option on new orders and upgrades, initially the superhub optional but free to get volunteers, give it a run with low takeup make sure it works and stable, then eventually make it the default option but however always have the vmng300 optional for those who want it. Everyone happy not rocket science. Instead VM went in full throttle with it.
