A-210 or A-300

[damienmcguigan]

Hi all, I currently have an A-110 and thinking about an upgrade to either of these two boxes. I can get both for around the same price. The question is which one should I go for, does anyone have a recommendation? I have heard of people with lots of issues with the A-300 which is putting me off, but the smoother looking ui is a big plus.

What I am looking for is a unit where I can use the NMJ (I dont like using YAMJ or other where I need to create a database on another computer and copy files down) with decent speed. Currently on the A-110 the browsing using 'oversight' for my media is a bit clunky and slow feeling.
I would also like to be able to install transmission for torrents and some method of auto downloading via RSS - currently I am using torrentwatch to download into my transmission watch dir.
Can anyone give some advice/recommendations on these?

for nmj, the 300 is the better choice. Generally you don't get posts from people not having problems aroudn here so even 10 people out of 100,000 sounds like a major avoid it problem. Yes it's quirky still, but it's very usable depending on your media. Based on coming from a 100, you'll probably be ok. The 100s were unstable at first, the 200s weren't much better. the bug fixes do come together generally in the first 6-8 months which we're approaching that mark.

Of course we are also mid year, so sigma's new chips are being announced and we'll probably start to see new players for the holidays in the next 5 months. If this is an impulse upgrade, might be better to stay happy with what you have, start to research all the choices out there now and watch what comes out in a couple months.
