Iv'e been toying with the idea of getting a media streamer. Initially I was going to get an Apple TV2 and run XBMC on it but I stumbled on this Sony smp-n200 which seems to tick all the boxes and is a great price at the moment on Amazon.

Has anyone got one who wishes to pass comment on its virtues ?

I have an SMP-N100 and I think it's great; the N200 has a few more features. The N200 got a very good review in WHFSV a little while ago (beat the Apple IIRC).

I've just ordered a WD TV Live from Amazon, hasn't arrived yet, so can't say how good it is. 

But from the reviews I have read, it seemed the best choice of the lower priced models.

Want do you want it to stream? Internet services, or music / video from your LAN?

Primarily internet services, especially movie rentals such as Lovefilm or Netflix. I may stream video from my LAN but the TV and blu-ray player already do this so not imperative. Not for music though
