Sorry for budding in, but the only reason I compared them is that they
seem to sell (ignoring the vastly superior eMate for a moment) for
comparable amounts of mulah which, if I remember my student days well
enough (by now that period is more of interest to palaeontologists), is
pretty much how a student will look at them: "How many Duvels [*] will I
miss if I buy that one?"

[*] Belgian (Flemish) beer; not to be scoffed at. Or rather...
