Did a quick Kelkoo scan and the only comprable units were Philips reconditioned around £150 so seems a resonable price.

I would wait one year more until the price for iPod or Zen comes down to £70. The today's prices won't keep for such a long time due to competition, demand and cost of manufacture.

The BT shop (https://www.bt.com/shop) have an archos 20gb, small mp3 player for £150 including postage. It's pretty compact too. Although the battery life is only around hours.
But pretty good value, as it has £70 off.
It's the Gmini 220.
Hope that helps someone
