<i>We no longer have the choice to get a fitbit because we already promised to buy a WakeMate.</i><p>I don't understand the comparison at all; they're completely different devices that serve different purposes. Additionally, you don't <i>have</i> to buy the WakeMate; I'm sure they'll refund you the $5. Even if they didn't, if that $5 is the clincher, then you're only proving Patrick's point.
