Dave - one more factor to consider - battery life. If the Ti-G4 can get you
through the day on one charge, you're probably better off than having to
either carry an additional battery for the 2400 or having to carry the
charger and have it close to an outlet all the time. Otherwise, you'd have
to weigh both machines with all of the necessary peripherals and THEN
compare apples to apples.....
