For beginners, it could be useful since there is much less to build. It obviously won't be as useful for the electrical engineers.

But what off the shelf controller will know what to do with the power factor corrector?
I think the boost stage controller is integrated into the inverter. If that's the case, it's just a matter of connecting the control connections to the microcontroller. If not, there are plenty of off the shelf PWM chips that can do it.
