Yes, I have a Raspberry Pi and agree. Also Raspberry Pi ends up costing significantly more than the USB sticks once you purchase a case and the necessary cables(usb/hdmi) and power adapter. Some guy on youtube has good set of videos comparing Pi to mk802 and explaining why he prefers mk802: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKNPnBE-ouI
The mk802 has been superseded with faster cpu's in the USB sticks so argument probably holds even stronger new. You can still get mk802, though, e.g., $33.48 with free shipping and HDMI cable, USB, power adapter: http://www.amazon.com/MK802-Android-Google-Player-Allwinner/...
