Sounds like a good reason.

I think I saw some comments about the Pi being flaky with a list of better 
boards.  If I find it again I'll add it to this discussion.  I don't remember 
any that looked great.

The problem with the Pi was USB related.  I don't see troubles when using the 
Ethernet, but WiFi hangs occasionally (days).  All the USB WiFi gizmos from 
Adafruit use the same chip.  My guess is that the WiFi chip does something 
strange and the hardware/firmware doesn't handle that case.

I've got a couple of units that use a different chip on order.  That might 
tell me something.
