For music, 60GB should be enough for 500 CDs at 256kbps AAC (same quality as iTunes Plus) unless you plan on storing losslessly compressed audio on your iPod (imho, a bit wasted given the iPod's sound quality).
Personal set-up:
FLAC (lossless) audio on server PC
AAC (320Kbps) duplicate on 2 computers: one laptop and one desktop used to sync to portable devices and Home Sharing
Just for clarification, the refurbished 64G iPod Touch selling for $249 on Apple's website isn't the 4th generation model with A4 CPU. It's the 3rd generation one with Cortex A8 600MHz same as the iPhone 3GS.
Given the choice, I would opt for the iPod Touch.

Thanks for catching that about the 64g for me . That gives me a little more to think about.
I'm really buying it more for the music than the video.
