It's a tough choice.  Most of the Sirius programming looks more attractive 
to me.  It seems each service has a few "exclusives" (Sirius has a number 
of NPR programs) so you miss out on *something* unless you get both.

XM on the other hand has some really cool receivers, including the 
portable one that you can walk around with...

I'm waiting til they drop to $5/month. :)
