That was a great description Ben! So agree with everything there.

One important difference is that inspectable doesn't support clojurescript 
yet, since it's using a swing interface to draw the ui I'm trying to figure 
out the best way to support it.

My idea on inspectable is putting there a bunch of experiments on 
visualizing specs and specs fails using a GUI.I decided to try this path 
after using spec with something like a compiler and 
having a hard time inspecting spec fails when big and nested data 
structures were involved. If you want to inspect big data structures with 
context you need some kind of gui that supports collapsing etc.

I haven't tried expound yet, but for what I've seen I'll be trying it soon. 
I almost always prefer simple text interfaces since it's much easier to 
copy and paste instead of start sharing screenshots etc.

So I think if you don't need data context and exploring capabilities 
expound integrates better your repl experience since it just prints 
information in the repl instead of opening an external window,  
I'll keep doing experiments with GUIs since I think there is some value 
there.  

As Ben said inspectable also includes a spec browser. If you are a CIDER 
user, its latest release includes exactly the same functionality 
(cider-browse-spec), in which I also worked on before inspectable.
