Which DAB Radio - Roberts in particular

My dh has promised me a DAB radio for Christmas (it's v late as I can't decide what I want!)
What I really like are the Roberts RD10 ones in the coloured leather (now in pastel pink, not shown on link) - just like the revival range but with digital. But are these style over substance? Do I need more facilities on one?
I don't really understand what DAB radios offer in terms of display etc so am not sure what I really need.
All I know is I want something which can be battery operated and have a carry handle (so we can take it camping). I do love the look of the revival style. Can anyone offer me any guidence?

It doesn't have a speaker though Jan. Mind you, it did enable dh to listen to the test match while we were at the pantomime

Glad that someone likes their Roberts! Am a bit put off them after the Guardian review - apparently they are a bit quiet plus they are not stereo. Having always thought that Roberts were leaders in their field I am now wondering if they are just trading off their name and not moving forwards enough. Even my dh is being put off which is a big feat as he thinks it would be great to have a 'Roberts' insignia as that is his name.

The people at the site I linked to are always really helpful cupcakes- they answer emails really fast and will give good advice. I once ordered a camera case from them and theyemailed to say that they had a cheaper one in stock that was made of leather and would I like it instead I wouldn't hesitate to ask them for opinions.

Thanks Tamum - I just had another look at their site and saw that the new Gemini 11 does have stereo speakers which is good. And it does seem to have a few more options (pause plus etc) so seems a bit better value for money than the RD10 (and almost as pretty!).
