   I have both and either service is good, although I would give the nod to XM   
   for mainstream dance. XM 81 has a broader playlist than Sirius 66 which also   
   tends to play more pop dance hits, which I like, dance snobs wont. As for   
   the other channels I only like the disco stations on both the other dance   
   stations I'm not a fan of except on Sundays, Sirius 62 I believe plays house   
   music from 12-10 I believe. The used to have a house station but replaced   
   it.
