MP3 player for son?

Hey all you Santas out there...Help...
My 13 (going on 20) year-old son wants a MP3 player for Xmas. After looking at the various models - IPODS, Nano, Mini, etc, (too many if you ask me), I have narrowed it down to what I think is the best for his needs, - the IPOD mp3 "Mini " model - the one with 6 GB - he likes the silver. The ads say it holds 1500 songs, and the second generation now out touts an 18 hour battery life. In addition, the reviews also state that the earphones have a ++, good to excellent rating as to sound clarity. I looked at the Nano model too, but even though it would be my choice for me, it is so small that he will lose it in a second - kids -or have it swiped at school - way too easy.
Any thoughts - good or bad - about this Apple IPOD Mini 6 GB, 2nd generation model? Cost seems to be about $225, plus another $20 for the protective case. The clock is ticking.
