Looks like a pretty good device.  I obviously can't comment on the sound
quality, but the Transporter certainly looks MUCH nicer.

Feature comparisons are also needed (does it even measure up to a
Squeezebox?): Does it do gapless playback?  Replaygain?  Does it
support ARTISTSORT tags?  Multiple genre tags?  Etc etc.  Just because
it supports FLAC and Vorbis does not mean it supports all of their
features.  Other features like multi-player sync are also worth looking
into.

But the showstopper for me is the server software.  Should this company
ever go belly-up, I do not want to be stuck running their old Win32
executable in legacy emulation mode on Windows 2038 SP9 [MSRP $500].  I
love SlimDevices, but God forbid they should go out of business some
day, their open-source SlimServer software can be kept up-to-date
forever, requiring no additional software purchase now or at any point
in the future.  And you really can't do better than that.
