You should consider something besides speed and/or weight when choosing
between the Zip and the EZ35. I personally believe the speed issue to be a
non-issue, at least as a backup device.

I chose the Zip over the EZ35 due to features. I don't like the
wait-for-the-spin-down-to-be complete or you'll trash the cartridge
feature of the Syquest based EZ35.
