Microchip is always more expensive than the Chinese stuff, but Microchip contributions to Linux are mainline (!!!!), and is often worth the extra few $$$$. Fully open hardware, with mainline Linux open source drivers. It's hard to beat SAM9x60 in openness, documentation and overall usability. It's specs are weaker but keeping up with mainline Linux is very, very relevant. Especially in this discussion
