What makes the Roku better than the new Squeezebox? (other than $100 difference in price $199 versus $299 for Slim)

What I think is lacking in both usints is video output for connection to a TV. Navigation seems to stink on both of them unless you were to use something like a PocketPC device through a web interface. The displays are too small to see from a distance and they definitely lack the depth of information I want to see when navigating or setting up playlists.

The Sonos looks pretty interesting, but filthy expensive. Not unreasonably priced, just too much for this buyer right now. Though I can say the same thing about the Roku and Slim products when compared to the empeg.
