it is worth the money

Is the new Pine64 really worth your hard earned money?
Can it generate enough momentum to take over the king of SBCs, the Raspberry Pi 3?

You're asking the wrong questions;  always if you ask the wrong questions, you'll get the wrong answers.

Each individual must decide for themselves whether the product and experience were worth the money invested;  but the real question that begs to be asked is, can the Raspberry PI keep up enough momentum to keep from getting run over by the LTS PineA64+ and the new Rock64 ?  The simple answer is no.  The Raspberry PI is going to have to up the anti to stay in the game;  at the moment four of my seven PI(s) have been replaced by two PineA64+ boards, and two Rock64 boards.  Time will tell whether peeps stay with the slower 32bit Raspberry PI with 1G RAM,  or whether they decide to go with a state-of-the-art SBC with 2-4G RAM, faster CPU|GPU, eMMC module, usb3.0, and on-board nor SPI flash boot capability.  The answer is a no-brainer really.
