Some of you are confusing terms.

If you are encoding an entire movie at 250 meg, you will see artifacts from lossy compression. If you encoded the same movie at 1 gig, you would likely not see any.

The VGA screen can display more detail with better clarity. But if it's worth paying more for, only you can decide.

I picked up my x50v for $359. For me, it was well worth it just for the better display (I had two x5's previously).

Also keep in mind the x50v has a hardware decoding card, meaning your video card in the x50v decodes the video - so your going to see not just better picture, but better frame rates - even if your cpu is throttled back to 200mhz.
