From what you describe re how you want to use it, however, it would seem that you'd run into issues because the original image you create from the first PC will be specific to that PC in terms of hardware drivers and software licenses (as you suspected). I can't, however, say I've used the universal restore feature you mention. Maybe TheEvilSharpie's PC had a malware infection, or a HD with bad sectors on it, or a software compatibility issue? Who knows. While I don't know TheEvilSharpie's situation and thus can't say why he had the probs he did, I've used it on at least a half dozen different PCs over the last year or so without a hitch (my own machines & several friends/acquaintances' machine). I've had good results with Acronis True Image (current & previous version).
