Also, as you do already have a Micro with DM (what year, 05 or 06 module?), the improvement is unlikely to justify the cost difference unless you have an older module.
Just to make sure you aren't confused, the Micro with the 'home' electronics will not be battery powered, and will only run connected to AC power. So you would be giving up that portability - overall, I'd either go for the Micro Extreme with Max electronics, or keep what you have already.

Thank you for your input, Sloth. My Micro is an '06, and while I'm not worried about portability, I don't have anywhere near enough computer memory to rip my CD collection at lossless (and, actually, my ears can't appreciate the difference), so I guess I'm sitting pretty unless I want to ante up $700.
