I was really unsure whether to post in this thread, but then I thought why not. :-)
I think its fair to say that people from both camps (sides sounds so much more combative!) will advise you to go for their respective solution. Both will also say :
'yes there are differences between the two, they are both roughly the same.... but my team is better!!!'
Both solutions have had there ups and downs, and I think having coming this far business wise there isn't too much to choose between them.
As a few have said make up your own mind, try out each solution and make your choice. No amount of pursading by either camp can prove better than first hand experience.
(For reference I have an A1)
