A friend of mine had the Nexus but returned after a couple of days because he didn't like it due to it's bulkiness and he also had trouble getting decent reception. On the contrary the three people I know with Stiletos (one of them has both XM and Sirius services), love them and get great reception. I have however not messed with the new Helix players but have heard so-so reviews. The issues my friend had with the Nexus might be location related, as I have heard of the portable units working very differently depending on the location (in the nation) of the user. And that is with BOTH services. However you are entitled to your opinion just as I am mine. But, do not assume that research was not done just because you do not like the opinion given.
