Two very different types of radios. What do you intend to

Certainly MW & HF, but the VHF bands are of some interest.

Numerous radios will get MW and HF coverage. If those are your needs
then consider something a lot less expensive like one of the Tecsun or
Degen radios.

Also the R-20
seems to have a bit more capability not withstanding the smaller size.

In which ways does the R-20 have a bit more capability. The E1 is
bursting with features.

Are you looking for a radio to listen to broadcast stations only? Or
somehting beyond that?
