You are about to be covered in opinions.

 

You will be asked how you want to use the unit and what you expect it to do. All will be valid questions. In the end only out can decide.

 

For me it works fine.

For some the 400T is the best thing out there - extremely accurate and no problems, whatsoever: for others it is still problematic, even with the latest firmware upgrades.

 

I suggest buying where you will not incur a restocking charge and decide for yourself.

Got it, love it.

 

There is a thread out there about those who like their Colorado's (any why)... it would be a good read for you.

 

Take care! Savoy

How can I be assured of getting the latest firmware when I buy?

There may be reasons to purchase a newer unit. Garmin may have worked out some of the kinks in the manufacturing process, and quality control may have improved. But firmware version is not something you need to worry about. Once you have the unit, you can easily update the firmware to the latest level using Web Updater.
