The overal comparison comes down to I suppose how you feel you will use the unit, the Arcam rCube scores more points if you are looking for something portable, but the B&W scores higher when it comes to streaming content to the dock, as the B&W uses Airplay while the rCube uses a selection of bolt on devices in order to get streaming to work which could be a pain in the long run.

Styling – this is a tricky one and again is down to your own preference, while the styling of the B&W we prefer the rCube does come in two colour options and overall is more compact so maybe easier to install in certain rooms.
