Also, I'd shy away from price comparisons as well - if there's a reason
that the price goes up to the same or above the Pi, then there's a
chance people will quote you and try to say you've failed.

Also, there could be good reason in the future that people want to pay
50 quid for a quad-core ARM on a PCMCIA card, and there will be people
whining that that's more than the Pi.

Cheers, Phil.
