I dropped my 505 a couple weeks ago and my laptop fell on it. I know it is a luxury but it now a necessity for me. I went through exactly what you are going through. I ordered the 300 and the 600 to compare. They are both going back and I ordered the 505 from Frys. I was willing to compromise the screen quality on the 600 (and trust me - there is a HUGE compromise) for the touch screen. However, you have to push hard or use a nail to swipe the screen. Nothing like what I was expecting based on my iphone.

The 600 fits in the light wedge cover but it must be thicker as the wedge will not lay on top of it.
