TT One vs Mio 269+ (and newer Mios)

[MajorGrubert]

Hi, first post here.

I'm looking for an all-in-one GPS device, with Europe maps included (I live in central Europe but I'm going to Spain for the holidays).
I want a model with SirfStarIII chipset.
My budget was about 450€ max.
I've decided against the TomTom 510/710/910 because of reported issues.

So my current options are:

-TomTom One with Maps of Western Europe on DVD. Street price €300 (+2GB SD card to store maps).
Pros: works great.
Cons: no seamless crossborder navigation. Poor battery life.

-Mio C510E with maps of Europe on DVD. Street price €320 (+ SD card to store maps)
Pros: new UI and maps.
Cons: just arrived, unknown bugs. No seamless crossborder navigation.

-Mio 269+ with all of Europe preinstalled on hard disk. Street price €400. No card purchase necessary.
Pros: seamless crossborder navigation, lots of features.
Cons: reported hard-disc failures, older UI and maps.

-Mio C710 with all of Europe preinstalled. Street price€425. No card purchase necessary
Pros: seamless crossborder navigation, new UI and maps, lots of features.
Cons: not available!


Any opinions?
