I have an Etrex Legend HCx, it works great, has good battery life and I got it and the SD card both for about 250 bones all in!

I have an Oregon 450T I think it's one of the best purchases I have ever made but I think I paid over 500 for it then a couple weeks later is was on sale at cabelas for a lot cheaper. I think the Dakota 20 is the best for the money unless there is a sale on the others. The gps hunting map cards are like 100 dollars a piece but they work really well if your hunting small sections of public land. I suggest that you buy a high capacity card and download the maps online that way you don't have to change your card out and you can download updates of the maps from home. If you buy the card with the maps already on them you have to send them in if you want to update them.

I just got an email last week that you can now update the SD card online, my PC has Vista and I couldn't get the trial version to work on it so I bought the pre-loaded card. I was just getting ready to send mine in for an update and had inquired about a free update since I had had mine for less than a year when I got the email. No dice on the free update though.
