Default Canon XM2 vs. Sony VX2100e

Decided to put it to the public vote!

Which shall I buy?

Build quality/strength and ease of use at high speed [with gloves on] are a tad more important than picture quality - although we all still know this is important right????

I can get XM2 for 1450.
I can get VX2100e for 1600

Unless anyone knows cheaper!!!

Voted sony cos I like my vx9000s and the 2100 is really same guts in a smaller case (i think). XM will be fine too I am sure.
