Hawk,
I always carry 2 compasses along with my hunting rigs, just in case one fails. But I have used a GPS with the Ecompass in it, and found it nice to have the compass in the unit at the same time, that works with out having to move. It would never be my sole compass.
As for the extras on the pricier models, I like the color screen and the extra memory, but by and large my biggest reason for looking at this model is the qad helix antenna. Every unit I have used in the woods could get sketchy coverage at times, even with no leaf cover. That is why I am looking for info on thsi model. From the brochures, it sounds like faster and truer satellite pick up. Also the unit gives me far more waypoint memory and stored tracks.
