if Creative comes into the picture, i probably won't choose zen micro, on the basis that based on my preference, i don't quite like the design of the zen micro~ if Creative's zen micro looked somewhat more plain or close to a pod, i would have bought it immediately~ no offense Creative supporters~

as for price, i don't quite mind the cost~ however, in the end i must like what i got~ i feel that is more impt than anything~ cause if you love it, you'll treasure it~
