Since it has been a while sine I lost my beloved zen sleek photo, I think I want a replacement before I go home for the winter break.

Buy.com has two flavors of sansa flavors, namely c250 and e250. The main differences, I believe, is the latter having a larger screen and being able to play videos on it. After GCO discount, they come out to be $19.99 and $29.99, respectively. I thought it wouldnt be a bad idea to add the video playback capability for just $10, though I wonder what real use I would have for it if included storage is only 2gigs (are micro SD drives reasonably priced these days?). For one thing, I really like the design of e250, that glowing wheel looks really sweet.

Then you have a bunch of etailers selling zune 30gbs at a discounted price of ~$95 shipped, presumably to delete their overstock to make room for the new zunes. I like their design as well, and I do have enough mp3s to fill it all the way up if storage is available.

Besides the obvious difference in size (physical and storage) and flash vs hdd, anything else that stands out I should be aware of? I care about sound quality, but not the accessories. I am in it to spend the least amount of $$$, not to waste all my savings on crappy docking stations or whatnot.

Thanks!
