short & sweet..i only want to spend a 100 quid,garmin Etrex or Geko 201 & why?

I've got a Garmin E-Trex I got off e-bay for 60 squids...
One of the Gecko's doesn't have a download to computer feature so have
a good look at the specs!!

It's the 101 that's the Comedy Geko to avoid, the 201 looks to be functionally very similar to the eTrex, but is a little smaller and lighter. The eTrex may well have a slightly larger screen... either will work okay as a basic unit, get your paws on them and see which you like the feel of more.
