Ah. I didn't expose one of my primary assumptions. I did say: The iPod has style; I don't care about style. The iPod has a reputation for weak bass; the Zen is sonically superb.
Take those two things away, and what does the iPod have? Well, Apple is seriously pushing iTunes from a marketing angle. So much so that you can now buy iTunes on a phone, no iPod required. So I checked it out, and you're right...for me, no net value add.
