I can pick a few holes...
EC2 i2.4xlarge: you get 16vCPU, whereas that Rackspace gives you a DUAL 10 core Xeon E5, 40vCPU - it's 40 cores, not 20.
Memory is much of a muchness.
The drives are 2 1.6TB OCZ PCIe devices that can be RAID 0'ed if you choose, and each has 400,000 IOPS, up to 800,000 combined, whilst the EC2 instance tops out at about 155,000.
