p2 store or fire store

[take2visualmedia]

I'm looking at various accessories as I'm close to purchasing an HVX200. I'm caught between the 60gb P2 store and the 100gb Firestore. Obviously I like the idea of the 40 extra gb of the fire store. Are the advantages of the P2 store that I'm not understanding?

They are very different accessories. The P2 store is only to dump your p2 cards off to, while the firestore actually is a harddrive to record directly to (NO P2 cards needed). The P2 store is only 60gb which seems like a relic now with larger P2 cards available. Shooting to P2 cards is usually a safer method than the Firestore because there are less chances of problems. If the camera is on sticks firestore seems ok - but handheld it's iffy and I don't enjoy it. I'd suggest searching a bit more to learn more about the pros and cons.
