Well, it's not exactly true, if you add a 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB HDD, and Windows 8, but I couldn't find the ASUS bare. So if you want to use OpenELEC or a Linux distro, and don't want a HDD, but an SSD, then it's not the right choice.
The speed difference is not that much, the 1007 uses a faster RAM.
I cant find the nuc cheaper than 140€ (including taxes and shipping), vivopc comes 175€ so the difference is less than 4gb ram + 500gb hd cost, at least here.

I cannot see anything more.7,5w vs 17w tdc (and probablty a quieter fan that need to run at lower rpm or not at all while idling) and a slimmer case on nuc side, the ability to mount bigger 3.5" hd and more usb ports on the other, I suppose.
