That CD sounds heavy!  I often carry both the external FDD and an external CD (the IBM 'flying saucer', sans speakers) with me, and I still don't think the 560 is much more than 5 pounds all in.

You didn't mention sturdiness - the 560 *is* a bit flimsy (I'm pretty sure that case flex is what caused my system board failure).  I subject my Micron Transport - which is a tank - to indignities that I wouldn't think of inflicting on the 560.  I expect the 770 is similar.
