You don't lose 500GB if you install something bigger than 500GB. If I install a 2TB drive I get an extra 1.5TB. Yes I can't use the drive they gave me but who cares it's 500GB. I'd much rather have this setup then some external drive sitting on my TV stand that would be annoying.

I don't see how that would be annoying.  

It's annoying for a couple of reasons. It's extra mess I don't want to have around I like keeping my media center clean. More power cables because if I were to get an external drive I might as well go 3TB+. Would probably have to get an extra surge protector just to plug it in honestly.
