Agreed. I bought mine new in '06, and I will never sell it. It now has a new battery (easy replacement, just don't break the headphone jack connector in the process) and a 120gb hard drive. Might go SSD when the prices drop low enough.
I miss my 5.5G, I still haven't quite re-captured the magic it made with my FX700s. I have come close now with the PHA1 but not quite there plus not as portable. I had a huge external vcap dock with all silver cabling on my iModded 5.5G and realized that I liked it better out of the headphone out with the JVCs so I sold it off because I felt I had too much $ into it for the SQ I was getting if I didn't really need the added power. Now I have pretty much the best of both worlds but still flirt with the idea of picking up another 5.5G because of that particular synergy. But for now I like the added battery life of the Classics, as well as the added storage capacity. I agree that a big SSD on a 5.5G along with a fresh battery could go a long way to resolving both of these issues which is why I am still not "done".
