The JBR20 is the winner for me - I spent toooo long deciding which to buy,
my only regret is that I did not get a flashable chip in my unit, and lack
the skill to perform the relevant surgery on the myself.

Both

----
:) USB2
:) Pixel based LCD
:) Many front panel buttons
:( Really cheap headphones in box
:( Lousy manual - not relevant if you use Rockbox
FM
--
:) Built-in Radio
:( Unreplaceable battery (without RTB ...to really bad customer support)
:( Headphone socket on the SIDE
Recorder
--------
:) Digital I/O
:) Headphone socket on the Top
:) Comes with 1500mAH batteries - can be easily replaced with even more 
powerful batteries
:) Remote Control available
:( No Radio
:( A little bigger
:( A little heavier (although, not by much)
