I have the PRS900 and the 650, but both of them has two slots. I wowed a long time ago I wouldn't limit myself to proprietary hardware, so I only use the SDHC slot and the internal memory in those things.

I like how easy it is to take the card, slot it into my Thinkpad and put it back in the reader.
Most of my other things use SDHC cards too: Kamera (a pocket Leica), my cheap recorder (Olympus LS11), my music player (Cowon D2). The only thing that doesn't use SDHC-cards is my other recorder (Sound Devices 722) , but that one has a 500GB harddisk and a CF slot and can copy between them directly, or record to both at the same time if I want it to.
The rest of the equipment can use the sd cards and can be interchanged in a pinch, I only have to consider speed when it's put in my camera.

So, to me, the Memorystick slot is unused and useless, and the plastic fake card is inserted to protect the hole from settling dust. SD cards are everywhere as is SD readers.
