I guess where we differ is for me more features != better quality. The features you listed don't really appeal to my liking of an mp3 player. The feature set that I like in my iPod Classic are the 1) 160 Gigs of storage, 2) Click wheel navigation as it makes traversing over 10,000 songs pretty easy, 3) Excellent sound quality, 4) One cable connection(that powers and plays) to my home stereo, my car stereo and media room, 5) A line level output.
I've never tried the E5 or any other Ematics so I guess I can't say with any certainty how they perform and my shenanigans comment was based on my past experiences with off-brand stuff that was cheaper, I have bought in the past.
