Except that you don't need to buy an SD card. Or a special 2.5A power supply. And you can access the it solely over USB so you don't need to hook up an external keyboard, mouse, and HDMI to get it running headless. And you can actually get the chips and their datasheets for the BBB. etc.
These are great specs indeed. I just wish it wasn't so expensive, since it does take it from "something I can use" to "something I'll put in a gilded cage and only use when that very demanding problem arrives", which is never.

But, hey, the RPi is half the price, man.
