iPod classic vs vision:w Options

[pebkac]

Ok. So I'm going to buy a new MP3 player. I haven't decided which one I want to get. I've pretty much narrowed to these two:

iPod classic
Pros
almost 3x as much storage space
easy to use
compatible with os x
Cons
lack of video codec support

Creative Zen Vision:W
Pros
Lots of codec support
Nice screen
Cons
Crappy user interface
Clunky
Not mac-compatible

The fact that the Zen isn't mac compatible isn't necessarily a deal-breaker, but it does make the Vision more of a pain to use as I'll only be able to use it on my boyfriend's computer or using VMWare Fusion.

Oh, and one other thing. Please no fanboism. I really don't care to read any "Apple 1S TEH SUX0RZ!" posts. Same goes to the people who would advocate the ipod just because it's an apple product.

there are plenty of ways to put music on an ipod not using itunes. explorer included.
and no putting any mp3 on an ipod is not new. just drag to itunes (or whatever) and put it on the ipod. just like any other song.

and do a google search for ipod windows explorer. tons of stuff.

i think the ipod interface is enough reason to get an ipod over any other mp3 player. so easy. so clean.
