iPod classic 120GB vs. 160GB models?

I'm in the market for purchasing an iPod Classic. My friend is selling his 120GB 2008 version iPod classic and i'm kind of interested. My question is what are the differences between the current 160GB iPod Classic and the pervious 120GB iPod Classic besides the space?

15-inch MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz, Mid 2009, Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPhone 4 32GB

There is no "maybe", all Classics use a hard drive with platters and heads, not an SSD.

The only real new addition to the firmware of the 160GB Classic is Genius Mixes. If you don't really care about Genius mixes, you'd be better paying less and going with your friends 120GB.
