Portable GPS with traffic receiver?

I was looking into getting a garmin nuvi gps unit. I have narrowed my choices to the the350/360 or the 660 models. The pros to the 350/360 is their very compact size. The 660 is a little larger (widescreen) and has a traffic receiver for traffic updates on the roads you are traveling on.

Pricewise, the the 300 series is cheaper than the 660. Also, I believe you have to pay a yearly service for the traffic service. Anyone tried it? Is it worth the upgrade?

I travel a lot for work, so I keep going back forth between size and traffic avoiding abilities!!

Thank you in advance

I tried it with the traffic updates and did not find it worth the extra $ but where I live (Indianapolis) traffic is not a large issue. If I do run into a slowdown I’ll get off at an exit and let it re-route me as I go around it.
