I have a Cosmos and I think it's an excellent portable.  Firstly, I like the
board/pieces/display - it's as clear and useable and you can probably get for
its size.  The lid shuts firm so I don't worry about it accidentally opening
when I'm carrying it around.  The battery life is great.  It has a great range
of features and levels.  Any specific questions?

Regarding the playing strength, what scale was the 2200 on?  USCF?  Are these
normally a bit higher than other scales?  If so, I don't think it will be far
off.
