Technically, you're not supposed to use a bluetooth device in flight. So, if you want to use your keyboard on plane trips, and IR keyboard MAY be a better idea.

That said, if I didn't have a keyboard already, and both were the exact same price, I'd probably go with bluetooth just because it is slightly easier. Of course, bluetooth keyboards are a lot more expensive right now, and I don't see enough differences to justify the $.
I have to agree with darth here. I also have the targas and I love it. The line of sight does not bother me at all. The IR reciever moves easily to accomodate landscape mode. I've also never experienced a lag.
