It's not just that either. I've had an SPN4716 for quite a while, and
while it's great that it charges the phone faster (though it's less than
proportional to the mA ratings), it's larger, with a much thicker cable,
than the smaller charger that comes with the phone. It doesn't fit in
with packing as light as possible.

Since most of the time the phone is charged overnight anyway, the charge
rate doesn't matter much. When traveling, the smaller charger is much
more convenient, plus I'll take along a car charger as well.
