Well, you know best what's in your wallet, but if it's not merely a question of sheer affordability - that is, if you could buy either and are being persuaded by the (wide) difference in price - I suggest you rethink.
My experience has been that I'm always happier if I can ignore price and get what I really want. Sometimes price is a real constraint - I want a Mercedes but I have a Honda. But other times, it's just a calculation.
I bought a Sony 505, and then a Kindle 2. I was much happier with the Kindle 2. I gave my son my Sony and told him he could have it if he liked it. He's buying a Kindle 2.
If at all possible, try them both out before settling on one or the other. All other things being equal, go with price. But consider whether it is really cheaper to buy a Sony for 200 if you wind up dissatisfied with it - even, perhaps, to the point that you don't use it much.
