The one difference right now is that the Sportster Vi doesn't support
33.6 (or V.34+ ) at the moment like the regular 28.8 does.  Maybe they
shaved down costs by using that piece of shit volume control on the
Vi?  Is it just me or is the regular 28.8's volume adjuster WAY better
than the thing on the Vi?
