Yeah, I went looking for one about two months ago and decided it wasn't worth it.
The value calculation has always been a bit iffy vs "let's see what small-factor desktop machines people are dumping in the local classifieds" if what you want is a cheap PC to mess with. That's probably very much true for software instrument / sequencing stuff.
Because of the ecosystem, the value calculation has been better for the Pi if you're building projects that are a small computer built into a larger electronic setup. But at the current price & availability I'm definitely trying to figure out what other single board options are easy enough or considering learning more about the microcontroller space.
