Well this is kind of embarrassing.
I ended up buying the Tab after all.

BUT, I am very very happy with my purchase.
The stock firmware is pretty well polished IMO. The stock video player codec support is very good. I played some 720p mkv files and they played very smoothly. And having the the four standard android buttons is a big plus for me. No more button savior or soft keys to deal with.
I no longer feel like I have an "incomplete" tablet (although my initial purchase of the NC was for the purpose of a reader).
Also, I flashed mine with the international tab firmware so I can also make phone calls.

For me, it was definitely worth the premium over the NC.
