Olimex is also making an A10 board with sound industrial design, to be available in the near future. The advantage here for time-nuts is that the A10 comes with a real Ethernet MAC instead of the USB-based one used on the Raspberry Pi, which will vastly improve network performance for NTP or PTP. Both the Cubie and the Olimex board should be making
I don't know how much the Olimex board will cost, it will probably be slightly more again than the Cubie but considering the Olimex will have a more flexible power input scheme and some other nice features I would recommend it over this board. Olimex is also a long-running hobbyist-friendly business and sells through Digi-Key and other distributors, wheras Cubie is "kickstarted" and thus more likely to have some teething problems getting a product out the door.
