Hey Geoff, - Faster to production - Simpler and more scalable architecture - More production-ready features - Better documentation (see http://www.cloudops.com/2013/06/cloudstack-vs-openstack-a-personal-experience/ .)
I would also point you to Simon Wardley's recent blog post (we have no affiliation with him, just an interesting article) http://blog.gardeviance.org/2013/07/there-can-be-only-one.html?m=1. Good luck with the article.
