I must agree with some of your points mentioned above.. I too like having something thats rather exclusive. But after showing my player off for almost 6 months now, most all my friends are familiar with it. When the Rio version becomes mainstream my friends will know who was here first.

The only other fear I have (and this is inevitable, especially in this industry) is that my friends will by their shiny new mass produced players for less money, and then make fun of me. Ahh, the price we pay for being first. Its lonely at the top.
