In terms of total front-end cost, you're much better off buying a single board since each needs its own microSD card and power supply; plus monitor, keyboard, mouse if not running "headless." As cheap as they are, these little things can get expensive fast if you let them.
Also, more long-term, 2 cards use more electricity than 1. This is a very real cost, though you probably won't notice it in your electric bill for such small devices...
If you can squeeze a little more into your budget, BOINC should be able to leverage the Mali GPU on the RockPro64, providing even more computational power than the (more powerful) CPU alone.
