I read an article in this newsgroup suggesting that it was cheaper by
~$200 to upgrade a 520 to 1Meg than to buy a 1040.  My question is,
is there any reason to buy a 1040?  Aren't there some advantages to
the layout, or ports, or something that make the price difference
worthwhile?  Or should I just laugh all the way to the bank (heh)
and get a 520?

Your expert comments appreciated...
