I think if we are comparing Squeezebox hardware to Sonos hardware and the relative cost of each - the result is not likely to be very interesting or important. The real difference between the two is the software. In that comparison, Squeezebox probably beats everything. The server is open source, with a plethora of great plugins available. Supporting the development of this open source software is a large group of volunteers. I use a lot of those plugins and I cannot imagine my music server now without them.
On the other hand, it has been approximately a year since I last played with a Sonos system myself, so I should probably see what it is like today.
