Well, I decided and went with the A81/W1060. It really was touch-and-go between the V7 and the A81; in the end, although the V7 did appear to have the longer battery life, it also appeared to be slower to boot, and I'd read that the 'suspend' feature still drained the battery so I'd be powering down/powering up either device fairly frequently. Since one of my important requirements was fast boot, that tilted the balance to the A81.
Thanks everyone for the advice/information/suggestions!
