X9 vs C2

[schizo]

So there is no X9 forum so I can't really get impressions from anyone about it, so I'm dropping in a thread here.

I'm shopping for an MP3 player and through my research i've decided on going with a Cowon model. The Clip Zip looks real nice, but I want battery life to be able to last week trips, and a navigable playlist.

So I had pretty much settled on the 16gb C2, currently $140 on Amazon (wish the 4/8gb was available.....picking the C2 was partly because of SD expansion slot, so if i coulda got the 4/8gb for cheaper that woulda instantly sold it), when I was just checking up on Amazon the price of the other Cowon models. J3 was outta my price range, but the X9 16gb came up @ ~$185. I don't really need a device for mobile video, but the X9 rates its battery life at ~110 hrs, nearly double what the C2 boasts, and its only $40 more.

Since I can't "downgrade" to lower size models of either due to availability, is the X9 a good enough product to pay the extra $40 for the battery and interface?
