since you asked, you must have had some doubts... trust your instincts.
i got a Garmin Legend for Christmas, and although i can't compare it to anything... i've already been very glad to have pc connectivity and am very interested in purchasing the mapsource maps.
being able to suck your tracks, routes, and waypoints onto a fullscreen aerial photo (via expertGPS) map is a HUGE advantage and very easy to do with this lowcost unit.
i would highly reccomend a unit with pc connectivity and a few mbs of ram for when the "basemap" don't cut it anymore.
