Tablet dilemma...HELP!

so i was at best buy yesterday looking around for a tablet and i stumbled upon the acer iconia. it is the closest tablet out there to perfection. with its dual core processor and its front and rear facing cameras, its usb and hdmi ports to its 1280/800 resolution. it was a tablet to behold. so then i was doin a little research last night when i got home about the tablet and i stumbled onto another tablet.
the toshiba tablet. its not slated to come out till july.
so heres my dilemma. which one should i get?
i will list out the pros and cons of each tablet. if something isnt listed, assume its the same for both tablets because both tablets are practically twins. They will both be running honeycomb btw.

acer iconia-

pros- uses micro sd card slot, 16gb is $449 ($150 cheaper than the motorola XOOM)

cons- cant be upgraded to 32gb (but theres micro sd, so not a real issue), cant switch out the battery pack


toshiba tablet-

pros- uses SD card (not micro), can switch out the battery pack with ease, can custimize back plate

cons- price- 8gb is $499, 16gb is $499, and 32gb is $549,, doesnt come out till july


any opinion into this dilemma is much appreciated :)
 
I'm waiting for the Toshiba Thrive for a number of reasons. Toshiba is a large stable company building high quality products. There goal for the Thrive was to make it as much like a laptop as possible. They have also added software that I like. This is from another site:
"A quick tour of the software which comes with: Quick Office, Need for Speed, Log me in, the company
 
I have the A500 and love it. Granted the features of the Thrive sound nice, but it's not here yet, and I'm not sure the price is worth it... The A500 battery hasn't died on me yet. Easily get's me through the day and could probably make 2 or 3 days if I tried.
