Last week I went into a local store that had the D5 on special and told
the salesman I wanted to buy a D5 before he even had a chance to try a
sales pitch.  Since he couldn't just let me go without trying to sell
me something more expensive, he said that I should get the D14 (~$20
more).  When I asked what it had that the D5 didn't, he said "better
tracking," I just said "Oh, what's wrong with the D5's tracking?"
He mumbled something about the D7 being better when you were jogging with it,
and decided to leave well enough alone. (I had already said I didn't want
the battery pack.)
