Which pack n play are you getting or do you have? They seem to be different sizes, but I would think you would want a bigger one depending on how you are using it...
We started off with a Graco Pack n Play, but DS never seemed really comfortable in it, plus it was big and heavy when folded. So we got the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib. I love it. The sleeping space a little longer and narrower than the Graco we had, but it doesn't have a weight limit. DS seems to like it and it is super light and compact when folded up. He still sleeps in it when we travel and he's almost 2.5 year old.
I picked one out for my first child based on looks. Looking back, I never used any of the fancy features like the bassinet or music. I wish I would have just picked a lightweight one that was easy to carry. I used it so much- lugged it to friends house so baby could sleep while we had dinner, lugged it to hotels, lugged it to meetings so baby could play while I got some work done. It was so darn heavy!
I bought one from diapers.com during their sale a week or so ago, and used a 25% off code, plus they don't charge tax or shipping. The total ended up being $64. I am glad we went for the cheaper one because I realized that DH and I are too tall to comfortably use the changer, and we don't care about the mobile. We also don't need the newborn napper, we can use the swing or regular crib. It does seen heavy, but also sturdy. I had no problems setting it up or taking it down.
We'll probably get the Graco Playard with Twins Bassinet since we're having twins and would prefer to get by with one pack n play. But I think we'll use eBay or something similar for it since it's $220 at Babies R Us and $140 on eBay. $80 is $80, right?
This... my husband didn't want the kind where the changer is like a diving board! we bought this for my parents for x-mas. I don't think we'll buy one for our house as we don't really have space.

We started with a hand me down Graco and loved it, so I went for two more that were reasonably priced (I have a in home daycare).
I never held you, but I always loved you.
