Etrex Vista and I love it. Downloaded topos and resolution is great. Has lots of features and good battery life. My last unit was a Lowrance and it was good but was an early technology and didn't have all the bells and whistles. Having maps makes it reaally easy to use.

Color topos/waypointsand less battery life. About it. Save your money IMO unless you plan on staring at the nice screen all day. Then it's worth it. Most of us just gather points and get back to the truck with them, color just isn't needed. But like most things, just because it's not needed doesn't mean it's not fun to have!

not sure what the color screen buys you....

Make no mistake though the Original Legand is a very capable unit and might be everything the limited fall user might want. Right now it is priced in a package with the Topo software and a 12V adapter for $199. This is a heck of a deal on a great unit! My point is if your not on a tight budget and you think you will actually use the GPS alot, the new color models are worth consideration.
