Yes, if you want use a keyboard and mouse and ethernet, i.e. a personal computer, get the bigger brother. If you want small, i.e. an embedded controller, get the A+. Horses for courses and all that.
I'm really glad there is not Ethernet jack on there. Those things are huge and ugly.

I am amazed at the price, I have a feeling I'll use a lot of A+'s.
Obviously an RPi ActivityBot is needed.
And no RoboPi isn't an ActivityBoard.

The BOE-Bot chassis is one of my all-time favorites - love the quality aluminium chassis!
