A while ago I was banging on about my new trackball, the Logitech Marble Mouse:

Well, not long after, I also bough the Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball for a different location:

BTW the latter has a rubber extender that makes it longer so as to provide more palm support.

Well, I want to tell you that the latter trackball is better. Mainly because it has a scrollwheel (that is a dream to use btw). After using the Kensington for a while and then switching to the Logitech, my mind was screaming for the scrollwheel.

The Logitech is still way better than a smartphone, an incredible experience!! (I couldn't resist: Star Wars I-Pad Briefing). No really, the Logitech is still better than a mouse because of the RSI thing, but you have to get used to either using PgDn and PgUp or using the scroll bar for scrolling.

With the Kensington, the scrollwheel is totally natural and just makes it great to use. I think the logitech shape might be slightly more comfortable, but overall the scrollwheel pushes the Kensington into the lead by quite a bit IMO.

NOTE: Just found this program: http://simans.net/marble/, which can be used to simulate scrolling on the Marbleman
