I have the SH99, and I love it. Has lots of great features, looks great, and sounds great. I love the MP3 player part of it too.

 

I'm about to spring for the 99 myself. I really want to be able to play MP3's on CD-R.

Anyone know the best place to buy online? Speedsound.com seems to have good prices.

I got mine from www.netmarket.com You have to be a member to get the good discount, and I forgot how much it was to be a member. I payed $320 shipped to my door.
