I bought a BOSS because it will fit in my shirt pocket. The Wizard will
not. A secondary consideration is the BOSS has a QWERTY keyboard while
the Wizard has an alphabetic keyboard. Ergonomically, neither layout
is good but at least most people already know the QWERTY layout.
If you want programmability, the SF-9000 BOSS has ROM packs just like
the Wizard. The BOSS is also cheaper.
