Help with choosing XM or Serius radio

I read this article in the Charlotte Observer today and I thought it gave a very good comparison of the two radio services and why you should choose one or the other. If you're choosing a service maybe this article will help you. Here it is:

I have had sirius for over 2 years now and really like it alot. I really dont listen to regular radio much, and Howard Stern coming to Sirius was a big bonus

Stern? You listen to that garbage? Oh well...some people think the 80's Heavy Metal I listen to is garbage as well.

Several of you seem to think Sirius is better. Does it cost more..or do the rates vary by location?

This is why I prefer XM. I've only ever had both services in rental cars, but the incessant chatter on Sirius (even on the supposed "non-stop dance mix" channels) was distracting and detracting.
