The 210 of course. Why? I'm selling one on ebay and it's still at 1 Euro :).

More seriously, there's an overview of players on http://www.icdia.co.uk which lists all the features of the players. Most noticable difference is the size of the NV-RAM, some players have 32Kb which enables you to save a lot more games than in a similar player with only 8Kb. I would put a 660/615 above the 740, especially since a 740 would probably be more expensive to acquire. But these three are all nice players (the VE-200 is also something to consider).

In day-to-day use you probably won't notice much difference. Just buy one you can get cheaply or try getting one of the smaller formfactor units. I've always like the 450 :).

Roberto, where do you live? I have a 605T in very good shape for sale (see my ad here in this forum).

Comes with lots of goodies, excellent remote (much better than the new touchpad sticks), MV cartridge, interesting documentation etc.
