Under the current climate (politically correct turn-of-phrase  :lol: ) I'd go for the SAM440 over Efika.
Why? Well quite honestly either way the court battle goes SAM still has a chance of getting OS4, Efika only stands a chance if Hyperion win.
Morph OS will be available for both at some point (so the sages tell us).
AROS is in much the same situation on both machines, ie. running on top of Linux and nativly at ....some point.

So there you go, I hope I was helpfull.

By the way, no criticism of the AROS team intended in the above "...some point" comment. The fact is they have done great things but still have lots to do.  :-D

Nice work AROS folks!
As for a geek machine, the FPGA on SAM adds to it's repertoire a whole new angle. Chipsets? maybe through the FPGA we could get something wothwhile, we've seen a lot of great FPGA projects recently with Minimig et al.
I'd still choose SAM over Efika. :-D
