I dunno... seems like Microsoft "won" to me, since you didn't abandon IIS.
No real choice here... the mandate was "make it go on NT", and this is how we made it go. I just thought it was rather odd that using a Microsoft protocol (CIFS) with an otherwise all-Microsoft solution did not work, whereas switching to NFS did make it work better.
Instead you were coerced into a more expensive and more NT-centric solution.
Well, with the cost of Netapp drives the way they are, this may actually end up being cheaper... (sorry, couldn't resist >;-) ) But yeah, I know what you mean.
