Absolutely agree, the replaceable drop out system with stays already shaped to work with all standards is a BIG plus for Banshee, and tweak the geo a bit.
One thing that you should note though, the 148x12 Boost drop outs are the 650B/Long drop out designed to make the Rune/Spitfire able to run 650B or the Prime/Phantom run 29+, so your stays will be about 1cm longer than with your current 142x12 drop outs. Another option you could try is using the 150x12 drop outs and just clamping the 148x12 hub in and then you would need a rotor boost spacer to get the rotor to where you need it, RD will be fine, just a bit more inboard than if you were running a 150 hub, nothing you can't adjust it to work with.
