A lot of this seems to have been addressed in the new models. The RAM is now user-upgradeable and they have instructions online of how to do it. It looks pretty simple. (Nothing else is user-upgradeable except the RAM, mind you.) Also, they provide the two new Thunderbolt ports now, which are meant for high-speed storage. I don't know that there are any Thunderbold RAID chassis available *right now*, but there are several announced and coming. So that'll be the way to go for additional storage in the long run.
