NUCs are great but they are often completely overpowered for a given application. The additional 200 you drop for it isn't worth it. Also 30w may be chips for a PC, but for battery powered or hybrid powered applications it's a lot of load.
Where NUCs become very attractive in my opinion is when you need reliability. Rpis are cute, but anyone who has ran one consistently for 6months has likely had some sort of issue. Bad SD card, random restart, or what have you. Most NUCs will not do that to you. But there are also other SBCs with a price range in between that wont either.
