I had a Garmin 295 and recently sold it on e-bay to buy the new Garmin 96C (about £400).
The 96C is Small, it has a very clear colour screen, good battery life, quick screen refresh, USB, built in 128mb of ram, virtually the same power and info as a big 296 but without the terrain (and £1,100 price tag!) it’s even waterproof.
