But without Rockbox, the 160gb is useless. So i'm in a pickle.

Just as an aside, I *really* believe that you won't be able to run rockbox on EITHER of the new classics. Doesn't matter what drive size you buy.

the insides
GodEater:
These pics, while not being the best quality confirm it. The iPod classic is NOT portalplayer based - and therefore no existing Rockbox build will work on them.
And on the same site is a new 3G nano - also dismantled, and ALSO not portalplayer.
LambdaCalculus:
iFixit's guide is quite informative about the majority of the hardware components, at the very least. But yes, these look like the very same Samsung SOC chip Apple used in the nano 2G.
Translation: Brand spanking new port, and lots of headaches.

This is the very reason I gave my 2G nano to my brother and why, when my 1G nano failed I opted to buy a Sansa E200 series. Sorry Apple. I love your products, but I NEED Rockbox.
