The Beat. I spent today going through the same questions. The stylus is just that, no extra functionality. The Beat has extra ram, better DPI.

Does your wife have any problems with the battery? The Stylus battery is much bigger.

Not at all.

She is a heavy Facebook, Pinterest and Whatsapp user and battery easily lasts the whole day.

Cool. Thanks for the opinions. Does anyone know if the TM Beat is the same model that comes with the extra leather back?

Got the Stylus, 3 days ago. Had an 32gb SD card, everything automatically installs to SD, so that's fine. Keeps the 3.5GB internal free for system updates etc.
Also, it updated to Marshmallow just after I switched it on. Snappy and bigger screen. Over 2 days on a charge.
