    I'm interested in purchasing a new SZ 3xx series. I'm debating whether or not the premium series is worth the price. I would like to have WWAN as a feature, but the 370 and 381 models are more than I would like to spend. The 330 model seems like a much better deal for the price. Anyone know any major advantages to the higher models that make them worth the $$?

    The major difference aside from HD or memory (standard stuff) is the screen, which has many threads here. The other difference (depending on the model) is the type of carbon fiber.

    The premiums have a smaller and better screen, which reduces the weight of the SZ by about a 1/2 pound.

    There is a difference, but it may not be worth it to you.
