Pat:
I'm not going to spring for one now.
I already have two of the original type, and would much rather spend the
$306 on a new piece of radio gear.
But, at least it's another possibility, and probably would be a great
purchase for someone getting a Stream for the first time, or already having
an older one to use as a back-up.
