Any good alternative to the IPod Classic 160GB?

Birthday coming up so going to get a new mp3 player. Want at least 80GB storage so is the new IPod Classic the best bet?

Big Sony fan as have an old HD5 that is still going strong but their biggest player is only 32GB.

Want something fairly small and with video.

Think there is some fairly large capacity Archos players out there I think.

I've burnt most of my collection (well, the stuff that'll fit) lossless onto a 160gb Classic. In retrospect I might have put the lossless files onto a NAS or something for home use, and done a lossy version of each album for use on a smaller capacity (and more portable) Nano/iPhone or something for use out and about.

Wouldn't like to use the Classic for watching videos!

Yeh, the older 120gb classic is ok.

There's nothing with the size, capacity and ease of use. Apple dropped the 160 for the 120 about eighteen months ago, but happily they've reinstated it. I've only got about six gig left on my 80 Gb, and probably another sixty or seventy gig to put on, but no space.
