In summary, should I risk the cost of a radio shark2 or ebay a radio shark?
Personally, I'd go the eBay route. Seem to be a bunch available for $10 versus $50 for the new RS2 from Griffin. The hardware is probably close to a single-chip design so what you're paying Griffin for are device drivers and application software that you're not even going to use. Additionally, as a niche hack without public documentation (at least I haven't found any), I find it's better to be on the trailing edge of hardware.
Beyond that, it's whether you want Commode White (RS) or Glossy Black (RS2) :-)
