Thanks. It is helpful.

The Monte Cristo 3 on the Onyx site has half the internal storage & RAM. Which is part of the reason I counted it out when I started looking at Onyx.

(The MC comes with completely different buttons, which I have not tried, nor can I even remember reading a review of.)

I appreciate your thoughts on the button placement. I am with you that lower placement seems more logical. Though interesting about flipping it with Alreader! I will definitely keep that in mind.
