Apple iPod (Video) Vs. Creative Zen Vision:M

I recently received an Apple Video iPod for Christmas and I'm bloody pleased with it... It does everything that I could possibly want in an MP3/4 player, it's simple to use and looks amazing. I've had no real problems with it, It's got films on it and about 300 tracks and I've barely taken a chunk out of it's memory, the video quality is high and transfer with iTunes is smooth. It's famous click wheel is as brilliant and innovative as it was in the iPod's early years.

The Zen Vision is another brilliant piece of engineering, although it is chunkier that it's Apple cousin, it's specifications are better, it holds a wider range of video files, so you don't have to spend time converting them, it has an FM radio, a microphone and it's video quality is superior.

I myself do not think either is really better and I'm not about to trade my iPod for the Zen Vision; not because I'm an iPod fanboy, far from it, this is the 1st MP3 player I've ever owned but I'm not about to spend an extra £30 to get the Creative system. I don't see the point, it is better, but I really wouldn't use the features it has that the iPod doesn't.

What do you guys think?

My Ipod version 2 went in the summer, Apple were not supportive despite only having it 18 months - I use a mac powerbook. Apple have annoyed me I will not be buying an Apple when I replace it next month.
