Re-read my post, I didn't say the 5200 is better overall, I just said the 7800 is missing stuff that the 5200 version has. The Audio is better on the 5200, you can't deny that, plus the 5200 has the controller coupler. It's not like the 5200 version can't throw alot of enemies at you either, all in all I'd still take the 5200 version as it has the features I want. The 7800 version certainly doesn't show a quantum leap of technology above the 5200, which it should have.
And that was a problem with both the 5200 and 7800: neither represented a huge leap from the previous system. The ColecoVision didn't have this problem, there wasn't anything to compare it to from before (the Telstar Arcade hardly counts).
