Hi Sebastian, I didnt bought a Etrex last year, but did some study. I decided to buy a 62s, since it has a compass and accurate grid scan. And Im able to look at a colorized map, I like to use it for hiking and cycling.So I would advice you to get one with a compass, since it reacts the normal way at a change without satelites. I dont have any idea about your budget, but that has to be a factor too.Another advance is the possible use of rechargeble and through away batteries, since I wont be able to load them very well on a tour and the other batteries can be bought almost everywhere.I hope you can find your way around, there have been some talks about GPS machines around here.
