5. I would severely miss being able to hack the firmware myself.

I've gone through 4 different archos units. Started with a Studio 20,
that lasted probably a year or so, then the charger connector broke
loose, so I got a replacement Studio 20. That died and I got a Recorder
20 as a replacement. That one died after a few months and I got an FMR
which I am now had for a few months and it is still working, knock on
wood. Have been considering buying another to have on hand, but now I
may wait to see what the next platform rockbox gets ported to.
