Many people may find themselves wanting both. However, at 350 bucks a pop, I suspect (particularly in this economy) many people will not be able to justify the expense and will have to pick the one that would meet all of their needs... particularly if you are a poor starving college student (who the larger format would supposedly target).
And as long as there seems to be standing debate on paperback vs hardcover... put me down in the hardcover column ;-)
