Any decent alternatives to the iPod classic?

So I'm looking to replace my trusty little iPod nano (8gb, 4th gen) because the battery life has slowly gotten worse and my music collection is now alot bigger than it was when I first got it in autumn 2008. So I need a new music player, at least 60 gb, needs to have video playback, easy to use interface, docking station readily availible (all of these are must haves!) my would-likes are: compatible with iTunes or uses similar software (I'm not keen on windows media sync or manual sync-ing), can play iTunes music files (I could convert them all but let's face it, I don't really want to :L). The reason why I'm a bit apprehensive of the classic is because of the EU volume cap, and I've seen quite a few complaints about faulty products, warranty's etc though my last two iPods were both amazing in this department :) Any opinions or info would be greatly appreciated :)
