IMHO you should absolutely go with the GPSMAP 60CSx from Garmin. It's got a superior antenna to the other Garmin products - hence the price difference. You really pay for the antenna in GPS, and the "double-helix" antenna marketed on this unit is superior. You can reliably pick up sats in locations where the ETrex and other units will not work.

When I bought mine in REI, the guy in the store turned it on and after about 5 minutes it was tracking to w/i 500ft. Not too bad for being inside an REI. It works great, very resilient, easy display, etc. Just a little pricey at around $350.
