I have three 160Gb classis, which I bought when I heard the max size of Classic was reduced to 120 Gb - too small for me. I've had one for 2 years and use it with Lossless files as a CD replacement through a high-end HiFi using Arcams IDock. Its fantastic. I have another in the car and a third I was saving for the dining room. Don't play through hi-end audio using headphone socket - use the best dock you can buy and be prepared to be amazed.
No issues with these iPods - I should know. Sound quality smacks the Touch / iPhone into a cocked hat - there is absolutely no comparison. So either have the funky touchscreen interface, of have the real meal deal sound quality and decidedly antiquated interface (Classic). If you like music you'll take the higher capacity and rip CDs lossless
