Counter-Strike: Source Beta Update

Valve's Cliffe made a post to the Steam Users Forums (thanks Mike Black) clarifying that the d-dust in the Counter-Strike: Source beta will support 20 players to a side for 40 player games. Also, Valve announces that the Counter-Strike: Source Beta is being pre-loaded to cyber cafés:
Pre-loading of the Counter-Strike: Source Beta to cyber cafés begins today. On Wednesday, this first phase of the beta will open and the game will be playable at all cyber cafes that subscribe to the Valve Cyber Café Program. Later this month, the beta will be extended to owners of Counter-Strike™: Condition Zero™ and ATI Fulfillment Coupon holders.

This beta serves as a compatibility test of the Source engine as we near completion of development on Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source. During this limited-time beta, issues can be reported using the in-game bug-reporting tool. In addition any crashes will automatically generate a report back to Valve’s bug database. We thank everyone for their participation, and we hope Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source live up to your expectations.

Lets say I buy a coupon on ebay for the 30 or so bucks, I can get HL2 download when it comes out, and still play this in beta, am I correct in saying this?

Seems like a win-win situation...
