Adding BC back to the higher end model (160GB) is a good idea.  A bigger HD + BC for $100 would make Sony money as well as help differentiate the high-end model.  At the same time, the production cost of the low-end model would not increase from adding a feature that many do not want.

This would definitely add value to the high-end model (which sorely needs it).  However, it would eat up the small profits (or increase its losses) on each high-end SKU sold.  It would be nice to have the option but the R&D cost would need to minimal for this to be worth while.
