the 210 and 220 have a better decoding feature set, adding DivX/XviD
decoding. None other have that.

As long has you have enough shaders and memory bandwidth for
deinterlacing in Advanced 2x, which the 220 has, why add more
electricity and cooling ?

Plus the 210/220 have an audio codec on-board supposed to do LDPCM and
ALSA will make that work sooner or later, they others don't AFAIK.
