I'm confused: why would you terminate a T1 from a provider using a 
channel bank, rather than directly into an Asterisk server?

That's my point exactly :-) A unit that can provide 24 FXS ports, using 
an Ethernet connection and SIP or IAX2, with built-in complex codecs, 
could be very attractive at a price like that, even though it's much 
more than what a 24 FXS port channel bank would cost.
