I think you may have been quick to rate the Audio Quality, User Interface, and Value. Audio Quality in the classics has been going downhill with every gen. The User Interface is nice, but lacking simple features that audiophiles know and love (EQ, Flac Playback, etc.) it kind of disappoints. I don't get why you found this to be a good value. You can get a Sansa clip and a 64GB MicroSD card for around $100, which will outperform this in all areas besides storage. That being said I appreciate the storage on my 6G, so I think you made the right call on the title.
