For what it's worth, I think the Struct is better OO design.  I'm 
firmly in the "Ask for help, not information." camp of OO programmers, 
so I try to avoid "getters/setters" whenever possible.

A Struct on the other hand is just a record holder to my mind, so I 
have much less problem with using it in a case like this.

Not trying to start a Holy War here, just tossing in my two cents.
