I know some people believe that the Atlanta may be stronger than the Star Diamond. I had the Atlanta and was very favorbably impressed. I think it would be a close call but I'm not able to vouch one is stronger than the other. They are both weaker than CG and PF2 on a Dell Axim. That would be good match [Star Diamond vs Atlanta (current Magellan)] for SSDF to run.
