- I think the couple of punds saved on the 210 are negligible. The battery stuff
- is a definite benefit. I think the attachable drive is an annoyance. Think
- that if you want the dock for its expandability, you either have to buy a second
- drive to carry around or just never have a drive on the go. While the duo is
- a better sdystem, it taakes a lot more money to get it. For the same kinds of
- abilities you need ot spend about $1500 more than a 160. It's not worth it
- for me (especially since I don't have the extra $1500).
