Is the X51 worth it?

Just wondering... I finally found an x50v to buy and I'm picking it up today.

I also had someone offer me an x51 for 75 bucks, and I waiting to hear back if it's the low or mid level. If it's the mid level, I'm considering getting it...

Question - other than the obvious screen, processor, and graphics differences, is it worth it to have an X51? Is there any chance that I might actually like it enough to sell the x50v at some point? I really don't need the most power in the world. I use it mainly for the calendar and notes features, very rarely some internet, and mostly for videos. And of course the occasional bout of Sudoku or Bejeweled.

I wouldnt be opposed to using for net more and maybe using for IM around the house or something.

Does the X51-mid handle its memory and operate WM5/6 much better than x50v? I know that the x51v does, but I wondered if x51 beats x50v at handling wm6 in particular, just for average use and video watching. (And I don't have to have the absolute best video quality either, it's mostly a background thing to have beneath my monitor while I work.)

Thoughts? I can sort of affordish to buy both today. And Im getting the x50v no matter what. But is it even worth it to get an x51 to see how it stacks up to x50v in running wm6?

Given the choice I'd take the 50V over the 51.... as the VGA screen is just so much nicer. If it was the 51V then i'd probably (just) go for that o ne.

I may be wrong, but I don't think there is a WM6 version yet for the non V X51.

There are a couple wm6 roms that are out for the x50/x51 but they are alpha releases. I dont follow that development very closely, but from what I have read it is a relatively stable rom. I would still go for the x51v. I could be mistaken, but I believe the x51 uses nand ram like the x51v so I wonder how it stacks up against the x50v.
