Default Sirius Text display vs. XM

Does anyone have any first hand knowledge (or pictures) if the Sirius satellite kit displays more than 10 text characters like the XM one does? I am going to buy and add satellite radio to my GX and am leaning towards XM, but if the Sirius tuner has more info in the song artist/title fields I may change my decision and go that route...

Any thoughts?

Had my dealer install the Sirius module. Operates through the ML/DVD under SAT1 SAT2 and SAT3. This gives me 18 total preset stations.

Unfortunately, the text screen displays only up to about 10 characters. I don't understand why there is a limitation on this, as the SoundlinQ SLI Ipod adapter from Vaistech can display more characters for the Ipod configuration as a MD changer. It can't be a Sirius/XM problem...
