I just got mine last week... had a Summit, and a 45XL (and a few others prior to that). I love the Vista. It has quite a few features. Like all Garmins (and most others I believe), you can download all the specs and manuals at their respective web sites.
I found mine to be very responsive in dense coverage (went bambi hunting last weekend, but mostly just played with my Vista).
I found it for $287, plus there is a $50 rebate from Garmin if you get it before the end of the year. Overall, it was approx. $250 total to my door, about $100 less than Wallyworld.
If you are interested in the site where I got it, email me and I will send you the details... oh, and this "etailer" sells tax free too.
