For quite a few systems I've built recently, I've used a Raspberry Pi connected to an Arduino Nano over USB. The Nano is the I/O expansion for the Pi. This combination is cheap (£35 total) and really flexible. Having them bundled would be useful sometimes, but equally often it's useful to have the small size of the nano located close to where I want the I/O and the larger Pi can be put elsewhere. So unless these boards are around the same price point, I'll give them a miss.
