Decisions, Decisions! iPAQ Sleeve recommendation

Ok iPAQ stumblers, I'm looking for input from those of you using this setup now. I'm just about finished assembling my iPAQ rig and I am debating between two sleeves.

Setup is:

iPAQ 3630
iPAQ Quick Serial cable
Cig to iPAQ 3630 charger
Garmin Etrex w/ DB9 serial
ORiNOCO Silver card

As you can see I'm missing a PCMCIA sleeve. I'm trying to decide between the 1-slot PCMCIA sleeve with the removeable battery for $103, or the 2-slot PCMCIA sleeve for $138. The 2-slot sleeve would have more versatility, but even if I had a second PCMCIA card to run in it with the Silver card I figure two cards would drain the power before I hit the end of the driveway. Of course that doesn't matter when Wardriving because of the charger, but when Warwalking I would bet it would drain pretty quick.

Well that's where your input comes in. Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?
