Garmin Nuvi 500 or Garmin Nuvi 760?

I just was in Best Buy and bought a Garmin Nuvi 500 on clearance for 140 dollars. I think this is a pretty good deal and is within my budget.

I could sell it on ebay for about 260 dollars and buy a Garmin Nuvi 760 instead, this is a model that has far more goodies and a bigger screen, and of course would end up costing me no extra money.

This GPS is to replace a Garmin 660, which was taken from my car. I still have all its accessories, and they are compatable with the Nuvi 500, so I have a USB charger, traffic receiver/charger and an in home plug in charger.

Benefits of 500;
more versatile-though I would use it mostly for driving
waterproof and shockproof-I like this
good reviews
replaceable /long life battery

cons;
small screen
less navigation bells and whistles

Benefits of 760
larger screen
very nice car navigation
lots of bells and whistles

cons;
I really don't need bells and whistles

Any advice is appreciated
