Certainly MW & HF, but the VHF bands are of some interest. Also the R-20
seems to have a bit more capability not withstanding the smaller size.

If listening mainly to VHF/UHF and some of the larger shortwave
broadcasters is your goal, buy the R-20. If you really want explore
the world of High Frequency DX, buy the E1 and erect a good external
antenna.

RHF can steer you to some great info sources on how to properly make a
shortwave antenna -- he moderates a Yahoo group on that subject.

Just my opinion,
