Thanks everyone for your advice. I went ahead and bought one and so far I am very pleased. So far the bookmarking has been more reliable than the View, so I’ve not needed the progressive seeking for real, but I’m glad it’s there just in case! I also like the fact that it can play Ogg Vorbis; one of the podcasts I listen to is available in that format.
I also managed to get it at a bargin price! £17.99 from picstop.co.uk.
