Having done some hacking with those little TP-Link devices (well, on a TL-MR3020, which is almost identical), I will say that Debian on a Raspberry Pi is much easier to work with than OpenWRT on a TL-.
With the TL- devices, you have very limited writeable storage, and as it's an append-only file system, the only way to reclaim the space is to reflash the system. A Pi, by comparison, feels like a normal computer system.
Twice the price isn't necessarily a bad deal, unless you're working in such volume that development time is an insignificant part of the overall project cost. Given the choice, I'd go for a Raspberry Pi next time.
