A LITTLE SHOPPING STRATEGY- here is what I think and why (IMHO of course)
I chose to get the regular battery for now and buy AFTERMARKET BATTERY (Lithium). I think I can get a lithim battery for a good price. I will take the "free battery" that comes with the unit- If I can get a LITHIUM battery for around $69 - I will have the"included battery as a spare. If I pay $20 more or $89-what the heck - I still come out with spare battery AND the Lithium. Deal Guy agreed with me when I ran it by him too.
Now a Processor is the heart of the unit- It CANNOT BE UPGRADED LATER- so I chose to make sure I got the better processor.
I try to save all the UPGRADEABLE things for later unless they give me an exceptional deal too good to pass up. Many times I feel the better choice is to take what they give you "included" with the deal- but use common sense- If you need it and can't wait - Just get it and dont worry if you can afford it at the time.
WHen I shop I try to think BOTTOM LINE- If I can get a LITHIUM for less than the price of BOTH BATTERIES- I come out ahead.
