HiredGun, i dropped iMP ownership after quite a period of ownership and some of the most memorable and intensive ownership/destruction testing out there.
Whilst the 550 may be technically superior to my old batch of dead/dying.. but mucho workhorse bombproof 250's, the 550 hasn't got anything like as much as a sucess pattern - even 350 & 550 owners who had 250's once tend to somewhat regret chasing technology in the 550.
Basically, the 550 is 'hitech' vs the 250.. but an equally bombproof deck to a 250.. never... :P
I went with the D-NE1 due to wanting to return to ATRAC .. and the hyper battery life closed the deal for me... no looking back... and no more getting caught up in the BS that surrounds iRiver firmware junk inclusions for me...
No obscenely badly encoded mega-codecs, like Ogg.. as ATRAC3 works just as nicely.. and dont kill yer cells...
Dell DJ @ 15Gb vs 20 Gb CL JB1 or 3... hmm, no contest.. jb everytime for me - it's got qualities available on non of the competition...
