What's the point of parallel programming when you can so easily replace the 
many (and space-consuming) slow AVRs by one more beefed-up CPU, which will be 
less expensive, consume less space and power and, above all, will be easier to 
program?

It's *always* a harder task to write a parallel program than a sequential one, 
which should be avoided whenever possible.
