iPod iPod Classic: 120gb or 160gb?

I know this has been discussed many times, but all of the discussions I can find are from before the 120 came out or when it was really new.

My previous iPod was a 2gb nano, which has always been full, and i've had to change my music around [~6gb music collection.] So, I need a new iPod, and for the past two days I've been trying to figure out if I should get the 120 or the 160. Although I only have ~6gb music, I could fill up the rest of it with video as soon as I get it, since I rip my entire movie collection onto my computer. I could also rip it again as apple lossless, which will take up some space too.

So far what I have:

160
+ longer battery life [ +1hr video, +4hr music ]
+ 40gb
- no genius
- less updates

120
+ slimmer
+ newer [ more updates ]
+ genius
+ cheaper
+ more responsive click wheel
+ free engraving
- 40gb less

So, anyone else, maybe someone who has both, have any tips on what to get?

To me the difference is the extra battery life vs. the added cost. Given the amount of music you have, I don't think the space should be a factor. For me, I have a ton of video, but video isn't the same as music for me. I don't feel the need to keep it all with me. I just keep 10 or so movies that I might want to watch (or if I am traveling, up to 20), plus some music videos and TV shows.

My brother has the new 120GB classic and likes it. I have an older 80GB (and a 1G touch 32GB and I find that I like the touch better because of the bigger screen size. The difference in storage doesn't really matter to me (I have 10,000 songs and about 500 hours of video on my computer).

Have you noticed a difference in battery life between the 80 and the 120? I'd think the 80 and the 160 probably have around the same battery life, since they were made at the same time.
