My understanding is eMMC flash memory is an SD card soldered onto a board, so if anything that problem could be worse without the advantage of a removable card

It's very similar but often faster. The Odroid U2 uses removable EMMC storage which has an SD card adaptor, which I feel is a very good middle ground (most of the advantages of both with the disadvantage that the connector on the board is non-standard).

SD cards have different classes- without seeing specs, I'd be willing to bet that a Class 10 SDhc card is on par with this EMMC storage.

Correct, plus the cheap SD connectors are a source of a lot of noise and unreliability. Just doing away with them will be a huge benefit.

You are correct. I jumped the gun. This in fact will probably be worse that having a removable SD card.
