Agreed, I'd say the unique thing about this unit is that it's a tube-based active DI, but it also has other useful features. The drag feature may be useful for some cases, someone mentioned earlier that it was popular among bass players, for example. I'm not sure acoustic guitarists is its targeted audience - there are plenty of other products whose feature set is aimed more squarely at acoustic guitar - but it's a very high end DI with several unique features that might be useful, depending on what you need.
