NR 70 vs NX equivalent model

Before I buy a NR 70 (there are some still around new) I thought I should ask if there are advantages that I don't know about in the equivalent NX model (would that be the Nx60?). I know about:

OS 4 VS OS 5
(I'd rather have OS 4 since I depend on hacks).

NR70 is slightly lighter (7 vs 8 oz)

NR70 is cheaper (about $400 new)

So what am I missing? any of the problems/idiosyncrasies of the NR70 better/fixed on the NX model?

Thanks for your time.

Scott

P.S. Sorry for posting this in two places, but I just realized I would get more answers posting this here.

Faster processor and WIFI slot are the big differences. By the way COMPUSA online has NR70s on clearance for $324

Improved movie player
Built-in Flash player
Support for Memory Stick Pro (there will soon be a patch anyhow)
Built in PIM apps support Hi-res+
More "future friendly"

I have both, If you get the NX you at least are on the leading edge (not the edge...thanks sony) of whats out there. The NR is out dated but still very functional. You need to ask if the extra $ for the NX with better camera (marginal) and the "future" capabilites is worth it. It was to me.......gave the NR to my son and I look like a Hero!

Good luck

PS, wait until the NZ comes out and pick up a NX for much less....

Missing:

-Faster Processor (faster hotsyncs, too)
-OS5 updated apps (AcidImage!)
-native .JPG support
-better virtual graffiti support (practically all built-in apps support it now)
-EXCELLENT built-in movie player and movie converter
-Much improved suite of built-in apps (MSBackup, CLieFiles, etc)
-playlist support and bass boost in mp3 player
-voice recorder
-slightly better screen (uneven backlighting issue at top edge resolved)
-WiFi support
-Macromedia Flash
-Memory Stick PRO (256MB and up) compatibility

I'd get an NX, definitely. They look the same, but that's about it, as far as I'm concerned.
