Need your advice: should I trade my iPod video for a iPod classic?

I bought an iPod Video (5.5Gen) [30GB] a few weeks ago. Now that the iPod classic has come out with improved specs and a lower price, do you suggest I take my iPod Video back to the store and buy a iPod Classic [80GB] with the refund money?

The iPod Video is still in the "30 day return policy" so I should be able to do this since I have the original receipt and all. My refund would be $340CAD and the iPod Classic would cost $318CAD. I would be making money to switch to the iPod Classic. What do you think? I'd like to know your opinions, Thanks!

If you can, definitely do it.

Cheap and new is always better, but I doubt they will refund you because then everybody would have to get a refund, and then Apple would lose money.

The only reason why I can get a refund is because I've bought the iPod video less than 30 days ago (which still covers their return policy).

Alright, then I would be jumping for joy, I'd be at the Apple store right now.

Mmm well I still have about half a year of Apple Care left on my iPod... I wonder if there is any creative way I could use it...

The Apple Care states that if the product is not repairable, you can either receive:
-a new one (old gen iPods don't exist now)
-money refund

Right, but the Terms and Conditions is written in a way that the defect is always my fault. An "Act of God" is nonrefundable, so if a diode just happened to disconnect itself for whatever reason, they don't have to do a thing.
