Unlike previous versions, OpenCL 2.0 been shown to only be about 30%[1] slower than CUDA and can approach comparable performance given enough optimisation.
Since I am working on code generation of Kernels to perform dynamic tasks, I can't afford to write at the lowest level available. (I'm accelerating Python/Ruby routines though so OpenCL gives a significant bonus without much pain at all.)
