I was recently asked to find a solution for a friend and found it difficult to save him much money going with Squeezebox, Raspberry Pi and Powered Speakers vs Sonos, so I suggested he go with Sonos. It probably wasn't an apples to apples comparison as the powered speakers would probably have sounded better than the Sonos, but they would have lost out on portability. If you have existing amps that you can add the Pi's to then the Squeezbox solution is viable, especially when the Sonos Connect is so overpriced, but for a plug and play solution for someone starting out then Sonos/Heos are probably more suitable.
It's good to see the some progress with upnp, but even when the syncing is sorted out I wouldn't imagine many Sonos users bothering to try it, t would only be Squeezebox fans. What are the main advantages to Squeezbox over Sonos (I ask as a squeezebox user) for the average person. The only one I can see is that it's so cheap to add to an existing amp.
