I've gotten the all-clear from the wife to finally buy one. I've been pondering the 6GB, but just realized the 20GB is about the same price. Clearly, 3x more capacity is a good thing, but what are the trade-offs?

Weight? -- 4oz to 7oz doesn't seem like much difference
Battery Life? -- the 20GB actually has more (20 hrs vs. 12 hrs.)
Durability? -- I like the solid-state 6GB over the HDD 20GB, so this one seems to be the key.

My mp3 collection is about 60GB, but 6GB at a time seems like quite a bit.

Has anyone bought smaller plaers, just to upgrade later? Or bought 20GB ones and never use more than half?
