I've got the Sony 2010, and I really like it. The only weak spot is the
speaker, which is tinny. I still haven't found a decent solution for that,
but it also doesn't bother me except for really noisy signals. Otherwise,
this is a really hot portable. The Sangean is also well thought of and
somewhat cheaper, I believe.
