I think it comes down to:

Sonos:
+ simpler to set up
+ sexy controller
+ DRM support(?)
- closed system
- expensive
- you need that expensive controller to control your device without  
computer

SlimDevices:
+ no compromise on quality
+ very open and flexible (plugins, developpers listening to the community,  
no closed networking etc.)
+ great display
+ great community :-)
- no support for DRMed files
- no two way remote control besides the web interface (not an issue for  
many)
- less sex appeal (remote, web interface)

But then I don't know the Sonos...
