Same here.
I also realized that with my big ole thick glasses and thick fingers that I would probably do much better with one of the wider 4.3" screens rather than the 3.5" ones.
Same here.
Those two things meant more $$$ of course so this Christmas I was on a mission to find a bargain! Most of the ones fitting my criteria were from about $399 on up. However here at Christmas I found numerous ones on sale for around $299.
What caused me to go ahead and pull the trigger on the one I bought was that ShopNBC online had the Magellan 4040 which fit all my criteria for $299 and they would split that over four monthly charges on your credit or debit card. I had a promo code for a 15% discount at ShopNBC so ended up paying just $255 for it and that spread over four months.
I just got it Thursday and used it one day. Was too busy to play with it Friday and hibernated in the house all day today except for a two hour motorcycle ride!

Mine ended up being $399.00 before tax. We elected to not get the insurance for repairs. Hope we don't regret that later.
Seems one of the most common complaints on GPS is the screens go out OR they lose contact with the satelites.
