Navio does NOT weight 24g. It's weight is around ~12g. RPi A+ with Navio = 23+10 = ~35g. Pixhawk weights 38g.

With Navio+RPi you get a lot of stuff compared to hardware like APMMini: network connectivity (LTE, long-range WiFi), affordable 1080p camera module with H.264 encoder for FPV, a lot of processing power for advanced flight algorithms (as an example - a lot of new features of APM such as EKF are NOT available on old APM platforms) and the overall hackability, which you don't get with any microcontroller based autopilot.
