INDUINO AS ARDUINO? Answered

Im interested in working with arduino. i made plans for many projects with arduino. i cant buy an arduino because its too costly. When i searched about arduino i got results about low cost arduino duemilanove  clone made in india called induino. When i searched i found that induino has more features when compared to arduino like inbuilt IR LED, TSOP, LDR etc. I dont know induino can be used for all arduino uno projects. I want to know   can induino x be used in place of arduino uno in various projects?
