"Ease of use" encompasses a lot of things beside the ergo aspects, though;
and the non-ergo aspects can be much more prominent--especially when
the thing is bolted/tied down like it was in the displays I've seen
at Best Buy and other similar stores. This in-store experience is always
terrible from an ergo perspective--but it's hard to notice the ergo problems
of the *device* itself when the store's tie-downs have already brought
the sum experience down to `pessimum'. It's sort-of like those Bose
speaker showcases, except in reverse....

I think my wife suggested that we could just buy each and find out,
experimentally, which was more likely to be dropped and broken--
and then keep only the one that faired better.
