You probly have already selected which one you want. I would go with what you think and not what we think. I mean we could tell you that the best in the world is the Ipod but you may think the Ipod is junk because you dont like apple. So really it is all a matter of opinion, even if you are only looking at different models of a brand. I have heard tons of good things about Iriver so I am sure both of them work just fine.
