Is anyone having success with Classic?

This is a pre-buying question...

I have the 5th generation iPod and while it still works fine most of the time, the idea of having 160 gigs is really appealing since I'm almost out of space on my 60 gig iPod and have had to remove a lot of my TV shows and photos because of it. But every time I'm on the boards or reading reviews about the Classic model, it seems like there are more negative things than positive things about this new model.

So I'm wondering, are some of these ipods a fluke, and are there a good number of people out there who are happily satisfied with the new ipod? Should I just hold out and wait for a better, fewer problem filled model or update to come out? Basically, I'm wondering if buying the 160 gig iPod is worth it...or should I save my money and stick with my older one and just keep removing the old stuff before adding the new?

I'd love to get some opinions from people here who have the newest model, if you had an older one and the upgrade to the Classic went well, anything like that...thank you!
