I'm going to buy an MP3 player and so far it's down to a 60Gig Zen Xtra and a 20Gig Zen Touch.
The Zen touch looks much nicer and is easier to control, plus it has double the battery life of the Xtra, only con is that it is only 20gig and not 60gig.
The Xtra on the other hand still looks good, but not as nice as the Touch, plus I'm unsure if it can be used as a portable Hard drive (Very important)

So my question is, should I spend the extra $100 and get the Xtra? My only requirement would be that I can use it as a portable Hard drive as well (would be very handy at work)
With the features that I loose (the Touch with a free remote/FM tuner that normally costs quite allot) is it worth the extra size that I gain and the battery life that I loose?

Thanks in advance.
