It will not become obsolete as quickly as other items like the Aiwa unit. Since the Empeg is largely software driven, it can be upgraded over time. It was hard for me to justify buying a car unit for $1200+. But since I know it can be continually upgraded almost as easily as I upgrade my WinAmp player on my PC, I worry less about the money being "wasted" 2 to 4 years from now and took the plunge. For example, while the urgency of WMA support has been debated elsewhere on the board, I know that this player can be fitted with WMA support should it prove a better format for music quality/file size. Chances of the Aiwa unit being able to support this down the road if it didn't have it to begin with? Slim and none. As new formats continue to emerge (in this still infant digital music era), I know I'll be able to keep up, while the "cheap but effective" crowd is left looking to purchase yet another head unit. HW costs are always decreasing, so HD upgrades will always be available too. If I fill up my HD in a year or two, fine - I'll buy the latest 72 Gb notebook HD from IBM and instantly sextuple my capacity - and achieve the goal of "having my enire music collection at my disposal". (With 72 Gb and emerging smaller file formats, I may get to have more than just my entire music collection)! Oh yeah, and I can move this between cars too! Just my $0.02... - John Red #080000487
