Best GPS for the money????

Im trying to purchase a GPS for my car (which i should have bought with the sat nav option – stupid me!!! – anyway). I have been on CNET’s review page and read all about them and such. What is the best GPS for the money. Im looking for something in the $200 – $350 range with Bluetooth and traffic. It would be mostly used for CITY driving. I am hoping for some actual testimonials, as to how reliable some GPS manufacturers are and if you would buy again. Like TomTom, Garmin, Navman, Magellan, Mio? Does a large screen prove helpful? Map support? Customer support? That kind of stuff. Please dont provide links to CNET or something like that, I know where to find specs about an item. I want to know which model and make are the most reliable.

Today’s GPS units all work fairly well and are pretty easy to use. The biggest difference used to be the maps, but even the maps are similar today. User configurabilty and map update costs are important considerations.

Are you interested in using your gps (for free) to detect traffic cameras? See how my $2000 Acura system compared to the $150 TomTom Version One (look for free poi file on page): http://www.a2dvoices.com/realitycheck/gps/TomTomGPS.html
