As a club DJ of over 10 years I prefer that Sirius has 2 more Dance streams than XM and NO COMMERCIALS, they also have top artists working as stream jockies (such as Kurtis Blow and Grand Master Flash) as opposed to the mediocre DJs that work at XM such as my buddy who has tried for many years but never really made it in the music scene except for his current job. Stream 62 "The Rave" features 24/7 of mixing by top world DJs.

I still don't get why anyone wouldn't want commercial free radio? especially if you're paying for it! I would cancel my HBO if they started running commericals! MTV used to be cool a long time ago when they weren't running 40 minutes of commericals an hour. Sirius will become more widely known and chosen for this reason by knowledgeable consumers. Up until now some resellers were telling people they didn't know if Sirius would be around in a few months, providing no choice in SDARS companies, that is changing as we speak. All installers I have talked to at CC and BBY say they are still installing more XM than SIRI but they also say they are installing more SIRI now than ever before. Give it some time and eventually the younger generation will decide which is the cooler SDARS company. Premium radio is not premium if there are commercials.

I think you may be low on your calculation of outstanding shares for XM. I'm also hearing rumors that they will be announcing a secondary offering soon.
