Apple is pretty hard nosed about getting retailers to sell at MAP (minimum advertised price), but you may be able to save maybe $5. We've got around 40 GB of music, a 20 GB iPod, and a 1 GB iPod shuffle. If you don't care about paying a little extra for the aluminum finish and small size, I'd say get the mini. Do you need to carry your entire music collection with you? Because it's all the computer. I just set it up to randomly sync up to the limit of the given iPod, and resync it every week or month. Works pretty well. The trick is having enough hard drive space on your computer!
