Let me guess... you are an expert on mp3 players by virtue of having used one brand? Maybe 2?
I've owned 8 players since 2001 and used others belonging to friends and family, from Apple, Meizu, iRiver, Archos, Cowon, and Sansa. Believe me... I know what is inferior and what is overpriced.
But hey, if you want to spend double on a player with fewer features, go right ahead. -- Join the DSLR Kiva team!
