I use the roady xt. The only issue I have is that it is somewhat difficult to change the stations w/ full-fingered gloves on.

Before you buy look at the XM Myfi. If mine quit I would buy another. They quit making them for a while but started making them again because of demand. The old ones had such a powerful fm modulator someone riding behind you could listen on there radio. Thats part of the reason they stopped making them for a while. The fcc made them change the modulator. The Inno is really good too but expensive.

Don't know about the the other one but I've been using a RoadyXT for about a year on a bike and in the car. Works great small size. I've got my favorite stations set up on the presets and don't have to do much with it while listening.

I've been using a Delphi SkyFi2 for the past 3 years without complaints. Didn't like the Roady because the buttons were too small to use while riding. Instead of relying on the FM modulator, I bought the $25 unit that goes directly from the XM into the antenna. Never have to worry about finding an "empty" station.

I'd wait before buying either one, XM and Delphi are going through a merger.
