Zune

Anyone here have a Zune? I have an antique Sansa 1gb MP3 player.
I'm always behind on these things because I could care less about having the latest and greatest, and I just really haven't put the time into exploring what I'd want to buy to replace it. But I will readily admit... I want more storage! I can't get many songs on that thing, although it's several years old and still works perfectly. It would be nice to have a newer one while unpacking and working on the house, and whenever else I can find time to use it.
I know some people who have had iPods and Zune and while they have good things to say about both, it seems that most people who have used both like the Zune better. I know that doesn't mean everyone does or will, though. Btw, I'm talking about the iPod classic or other ones comparable to the Zune products, not the iPhone. I like a separate phone anyway, so I wouldn't be interested in that or a similar product by Zune if they ever make one.
I'm looking at the Zune 120gb. I don't need that much storage, but it's not really that much more than the Zune 80gb, so why not spend a little more and have it? The reason I'm considering a Zune over an iPod is that it has a few more features that I think I'd like... FM radio and you can click to buy songs from the radio, wireless sync, wireless file sharing, and a bigger screen. Plus, I don't really have much of an iTunes library... just some LOST episodes that I bought and watched a few months after Rita hit since I missed everything during that nightmare. I use WMP and from what I've read, my music should be easy to transfer to the Zune.
I've never even burned a DVD from my computer before, so my playing with that on any device should be interesting. I've burned CD's though. heh Anyway, as with all products, I have read people who can't stand the Zune for whatever reason, can't stand the iPod for whatever reason, declare Zune the best, declare iPod the best, etc. Some of them actually get defensive.
It's an object. lol
Anyway, I've read a ton of reviews, but just wondering if any of you guys have owned BOTH and which you like better, and why. I'm not against getting an iPod, but I think I like the features of the Zune better.
