Thank you for what seems to me a fairly objective look at two alternative browsers. I've been an Opera user since version 3.5 (first in Windows, now in Linux), and I've been a fan since I first heard of it.
Although there was a lot of debate when Opera decided to integrate an e-mail client, and later when the design of that client was changed (I stopped using Opera for e-mail at that point), it had managed to avoid bloat in terms of overall size. If I'm not mistaken, even with the additional built-in features, Opera remains a smaller download than Firefox.
Personally, I'll stick with Opera, but it sounds to me as if users can't go wrong with either choice. And choice is what it's all about!
