The Clip and the Fuze have similar sound so really it's more a question of how big of a player you want. I own both, got them as review samples from Sandisk and I prefer the Fuze overall simply because the Clip is too small to use regularly and navigating through the GUI can be annoying at times. If you need a super compact player though the clip+ is the way to go. Get the original Fuze though, not the Fuze+
Plus you can add Rockbox to the Fuze, which adds a ton of cool stuff to play with
