I have two of the Grace Digitals, and I love them. They do internet, Sirius and Pandora.
At home I still use an FM transmitter connected to my iMac. It's a stereo transmitter for cars that I plugged into a DC/AC adapter. It transmits in stereo to any FM radio within around 150 feet. The sound is as good as the radio that receives the transmission.
Only downside is that I have to go back to my computer to "change stations". I have dozens of my favorite stations' streams bookmarked, and also use streaming services for multiple stations. For travel, I have a battery charged Arkon Soundfeeder to broadcast stations in stereo from my iPod Touch which also has several apps that play Internet radio stations.
When the tabletop Internet radios are more affordable, I may consider one, but the iPod [and iMac or MacBook] does a good job for some of my favorite stations, using FM transmitters instead of dedicated radios. There are even some streams that can run in a browser on the iPod, with links at http://www.tuned.mobi/. Might reconsider when Internet radio is standard equipment in my next MINI.
