I'm thinking of getting this. Its awfully expensive though.

hm, expensive but good.

Yes, expensive usually equates to better quality so cost is not so much the issue. I just want to know if it is the best solution for the DS Lite. It certainly seems like one of the best.

You would recommend this I take it?

I actually wouldn't recommend it that much. There are better solutions out there like the R4, M3 Simply, and Supercard DS, and removable media is preferred because you can cheaply upgrade your storage capacity. The DS-X is too expensive for what it does.
