Saying your picture is "great" and actually getting the best stream Netflix has to offer are two entirely different things. Yes, you can get a good/great picture (depends on your idea of what's good/great) at 1.32mbps but to get the highest quality streams Netflix offers you will need at least 4 to 5 mbps because that is the bit rate they stream the highest quality at.
Netflix will downgrade the quality based on what they are able to see your connection's streaming ability. Whether that matters to your or not depends on your requirements and the size of your tv.
Anyway, as this thread clearly shows most people are very happy with Netflix streaming on the Apple TV. After owning and using several Netflix devices I can say with experience that it's the best Netflix device on the market right now. It has the least issues with streaming, the best UI, and starts up and accesses Netflix the quickest. Now that it offers 5.1 audio there really is no point in me using the PS3 for Netflix anymore. The Roku and Wii aren't on the same level as the ATV2 and PS3 in my opinion.
