I'd go for the model 1's all the way.. I saw a pair of model 1 Genny/CD today in a local store and it's much more aesthetically pleasing than my model 2 Genny/CD combo.
Not to mention my model 2 takes up so much shelf space... :x

Unless, of course, you can find a WonderMega.. That thing looks so sleek..

Not if I live in Tokyo. ;) The price tag isn't cheap. It's at least $300-400 in most cases loose. $500-600+ boxed. Unless, of course, I like out at somewhere like Hard Off.

Whoops. My bad. I did a little more research and found this:
The unit did not reach Japan as the Multi-Mega, but instead the design was licensed to Linguaphone, who rebranded the unit as the Linguaphone Education Gear. Very little is known about this version of the unit, though it can be assumed it was intended for education purposes.

They have an AC adapter? I thought the power supply was built in?

You know kinda like the original ps2's with a removable cord.

I'm late to the party here, but I vote the Model 1 combo.

It just looks damn good. That's what I have, (with the 32x) and I love it. The Wondermega comes in second.

I always thought the model 2 looked ridiculous, even back when it was released.

I'd say the Wondermega. Never seen that one before myself though, I had the JVC model. Physically they look a little different, anyone know if they were that different underneath/functionality wise?

It's definitely something I'd like to get eventually again when I have the money.
