Anyway, the NI one is more powerful, legal to use in FRC (correct me if I'm wrong - not too familiar with the rules yet), and much cheaper for teams.
Given that the Qwerk has a 200MHz processor vs the cRIO's 400MHz, a (I think) 500K gate FPGA vs 2M gate FPGA, and a $349 retail price tag vs. $3000 retail..... Well I think that about says it all.
