Mostly portability, I think. I'd like to have a HDD-based player with at least some of the features of the empeg-car that I could easily take on an airplane, in a friends car, on a camping trip, or anywhere else I want music but not to be worried about damaging my ~1K car stereo, with or without it's cool carrying case.

Right - also I'm expecting quite a bit of airplane travel in my new job (in the San Fran area, btw) - Empeg's not really that nice to carry as a carry-on:)
