I used Armory for years, liked it but tired of using two computers for cold storage and changed to Trezor and have not looked back. Armory has been promising Trezor support but it never comes. I doubt it is a priority now. I am aware of the privacy advantages of running your own full node and Trezor owners will have that option soon according to this post on reddit. Mytrezor release with Bitpay Bitcore support is coming soon. If you do not want to run a Bitcore node on your own Linux box you will have the option in myTrezor.com to connect to other public Bitcore servers. Woohoo!

that's interesting.  any experience with Bitcore?  is it just another implementation of Bitcoin Core as a full node?

No experience yet but will be setting up on linux soon. See https://bitcore.io/ both 64 bit Mac OS X and GNU/Linux are currently supported. I assume you will have to run the daemon and the wallet service then point myTrezor.com to the wallet service as the backend instead of Bits of Proof. Uncharted waters here for me sounds like fun.
