Actually, if you look at the features/capabilities, they're pretty much the same -
Starmate Replay -
Replays 44 minutes of content (pause, rewind and fast-forward)
5-line wide-screen graphic display
4-way navigation button
30 channel presets with preset scan
100-frequency wireless FM transmitter with FM preset button.
Satellite-updated clock
Game Alert Prompts when your favorite teams play and score
Game Zone Lists your favorite teams? scores on one screen
Jump Button provides one-touch access to traffic and weather for your city
S-Seek alerts for up to 30 artist names and/or song title combinations
Sportster Replay -
Replays 44 minutes of content (pause, rewind and fast-forward)
Rewind and fast-forward by song or time
Search and choose songs from the Replay List
Quick access to live programming
6-line graphic display
30 channel presets
Wireless FM transmitter with 100-frequency choices
Game Alert - Prompts when your favorite teams are playing at start of game and when scores change
Game Zone - Lists your favorite teams? scores on one screen
Jump Button - One touch to traffic and weather reports for your city or tune to your favorite SIRIUS channel
The biggest difference is that it's easier to jump your Sportster unit from vehicle to vehicle or home dock or boom box. The Sporster also has the S-Seek feature, even though it's not listed and it has a 6-line graphic display over the 5-line (that's no real biggie).
The Startmate might sell more, but that's probably because it's cheaper than the Sportster.
I guess that there's no point going on and on, ha ha. If you're happy with your Starmate Replay and I'm happy with my Sportster Replay and we're both enjoying Sirius radio, that's all that matters. People can do the research and see what they feel is best, right
