sirius vs xm

so i'm considering getting sattelite radio for xmas, and the two obvious choices are xm and sirius. i mainly am going to just listen to the trance stations, so out of all of your experiences.. which one would you guys consider to have better quality trance stations?
which one plays more sets? thanks in advance!

There are a few electronic stations on each but the only ones I prefer on each are as follows.
Area 33 on Siruis
The system on XM

I have XM in my car but I will be getting a new head unit that supports sirius soon.

and dream beamz... with what you were saying, does that mean you ended up preferring sirius of the two?

i'm mainly looking for the one that plays more live sets, and doesn't really play much commercial poppy cheese

I prefer non-cheesy crap as well. I would have to go with sirius but both play cheese every now and then. XM gets live broadcast more often I think but sirius plays more recorded live sets. I am not too sure because I listen to CDs more than anything. I just have XM and access to sirius

All I have to say is the Invasion Fridays on Area 33 (Sirius)...

We have both @ our house...

Check their websites to see the residents of each. PvD is on Sirius... but they also have garbage shows like Pete Tong and Judge Jules. I have seen lots of Carl Cox, Robbie Rivera, etc on XM.

You can't go wrong either way.
