I had 2 Xsight Touch, both broken. I would prefer the Touch over the Color because of the RF interface (I still have the extender). I don't know of any other among the JP1 offering an RF interface. Though one advantage of the Color is the standard batteries instead of specific LiIon-pack, easy to replace, no problem with the bigger size.
I have to admit the Xsight was not perfect. I didn't like the very loud clicking noise of the hard buttons. The Touch screen offering 6 soft buttons made it possible to have quite any of the special device keys available, but so I had around 6 screens for some devices, scrolling was not that comfortable. In general I prefer hard buttons with 4 alternative printings for instance.
Maybe I get another Xsight Touch RM support has improved, but so far I think I go the hard way: I'm hiding the 7781 under lots of labels from my label printer, just need to think about a good intuitive layout. Then sealing that with transparent foil.
