For a limited time they where sold in Italy for 500 Euro - a bargain. And if you have space and don't want to use rack servers you can start for the same price as a NAS. The one reason to start with a NAS is that you have less administration to do and you get used to use a server. So it might as you said be best as a middle step.

However for a SoHO sized business a NAS can be a good interim move before a company can justify a 'proper' server purchase. However, if you do go down the NAS route make sure that you have a level of data redundancy. Before getting servers and a RAID array at my own company, I had had a 5-drive NAS unit configured to RAID 6 which gave sterling service.
