A lot of OSM-ers love the Garmin Etrex Legend HCx. It's got everything you want for a good price. Cheaper and you tend to start losing a lot for not that much money saving, more expensive and your jumping up to things like touch screen and latest/fashionable plastic case. The Legend is also so durable for the odd accidental drop. I generally agree with what is said in this review, and it breaks down Garmin's naming convention http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/shine/gps-recommendations/
