The Sonos solution is more robust but a lot less flexible. The Sonos hand held controllers are well-built, heavy and two handed (apart from the latest one which is larger than an iPhone but lacks all the best bits... and costs more!). The Logitech Controller is light, a bit tacky but can be held and manipulated using only one hand. It is unforgiving of badly set up wireless networks and under-powered servers.
Personally I'd avoid the Controller (unless you really like messing around with wireless networks and computers) and think about getting the third party iPeng on an iPhone/iPod instead. There will be difference in sound output between output the Sonos and the Receiver (but which is best only the individual listener can decide, and then only for themselves). If sound quality were your biggest issue you should consider the Logitech Transporter or at the least the soon-to-be-released Touch. You will be able to attach a USB drive directly to the Touch too, which'll be useful if you wanted to play local files without requiring an always-on PC or NAS. MC -- ModelCitizen Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important? Then 'vote for bug 14194' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194) so more can be made.
