Default Re: FMP 1.5 vs 1.8

I got the impression that it goes beyond screen differences, that the 1.5 FMP is more cheaply made. THe plastic caps at the end of the player are just stickers on the 1.5 apparently. The firmware may not be the same, and you certainly wouldnt have the video resizing feature (where the 1.8 shows videos across the screen). The video playback is nice and smooth on the 1.8, dont know about the 1.5. Id spend a few bucks mroe to get a 1.8 version now than regret it later. Like you said, its not much more and when factored over the lifetime of the player, its more enjoyment.
