The Udoo are a lot more powerful, 4 cores plus a SAM chip (Arduino Due) with 
proper ethernet, USB, audio, wireless, SATA plug etc. Depends what you need, but 
if you need things like lots of GPIO, including analogue, or reasonable 
networking and the built in audio is OK for you then their price (3 times a Pi) 
isn't so bad.

Also, I keep running into the lack of documentation on the Pi, it looked good at 
first but ..., while the GPU interface on the Udoo has a lot more docs.
