It gets down to the basic tasks you typically do. So, if you're a plainjane user the Inspiration should do find. Once you get into more demanding tasks like movies or video editing or some basic gaming, then the Studio is a step-up. If you want the top-of-the-line, then a XPS system is next. I suspect that video, ram and HD storage become the key differences amongst the systems. Also, this is another way vendors try to differ amongst systems and provide a broad line-up to choose from. Afterall, the user should have an idea what they plan to use it for.

Think in terms of cars, Chevy for Inspiration, Oldsmobile for Studio and Cadillac for XPS even though they all come form the same plant, use the same engine and brakes, yada, yada, the comfort zone and appointments differs amongst each.
