Summary: specific models being considered

Our local discount warehouse (Price Club) stocks two CD players:

	Toshiba XRJ9, $135
	Magnavox FD2040 or 41, $145

I'm looking for a portable -- not battery-operated, just that I
can easily move from stereo to stereo.  The Toshiba fits the bill,
as does the original Sony Discman, which I saw advertised for $170.

I'm sure this has been hashed before, but does anyone have any specific
reasons why I should or should not buy any of the three machines listed
above?  I'm looking for fidelity (flat top end, no wow & flutter or
blatant IM) and something that will last at least 2 years (till I buy a
CD-I), and won't destroy my CD's.  Features not important.

And I'm not going to spend > $200, so if that buys me trash, I'm
looking for the best-quality trash I can find. :-)  I'll accept
suggestions for other machines that meet these requirements...
