I will always prefer my iPod Mini with extra storage, new battery and Rockbox like this guy did, and the reasons are:

better overall build and audio quality
way cheaper (70-80$ vs 249$)
better software support (Rockbox is FOSS and has been going on for ages and it's not gonna stop)
it actually upcycles old hardware instead of buying new devices and creating more e-waste
nostalgia value +100 points
