Default Feedburner vs. Feedblitz

I am interested in using either Feedburner or Feedblitz for my E-Commerce site. With time I'm also launching a website that'll be a blog and will want to use one for that also.
I am able to export product feeds from my website and would like a service which will take those feeds and then send them out to subscribers, mainly to send a list of new products since the last day/feed so that subscribers can basically get a email with new products added to my store.
I don't really need a lot of customization and just want something that is easy for a customer to subscribe to or unsubscribe from if necessary and like I said if possible will list changes to the RSS feed (new products) since the last feed.
Which of the above would be best or is there another that is better? The only thing I see is that Feedblitz has a small cost and has email and I don't really need a new email address. I think it may be more suitable for my blog when it's launched and Feedburner for my store.
I am interested in opinions from others out there. Thank you.

unfortunately feedblitz is not free, I like the features.
I rarely seen ecommerce site use feed as new product announcement. Mostly feed use on ecommerce for discount or recomended products.
if you want something your customer can subscribe and unsubscribe, why don't u try feed script written by php. there is a free one called phplist. but this script hard to install. If you have basic to moderate skill of php, there is should be no big deal.

If you are going to take that route promoting your products, I'd just stick with having a blog at first. Once you know you have a readership and people interested, I'd get Aweber and plug the feed into that.

Test out that route first, I don't want you to go broke trying out other options if it doesn't work out.

Let us know how it goes!
