What else offer an Arduino MEGA beside the big amount of ports?

There's an official Mega, with a 1280 CPU. It has SPI brought out to that double-row connector.

I have no idea whether/how it differs from what Sparkfun sells. I only posted because I remembered reading complaints from people who'd been unpleasantly surprised by the SPI pinout difference, and thought it was worth mentioning to a potential buyer.
