I got the 350 for x-mas last year when it had just come out...I think it was like $750 then, I think they go new for $600 or so now. I'm sure you could get a used one even cheaper, and garmin customer support is absolutely fantastic if anything ever goes wrong with it. I've already read of like 20 or 30 people on the nuvi forums getting brand new units without any hassle. The widescreen would be cool but you won't ever feel like you need it
