Took advantage of the recent REI sale and bought an eTrex Vista HCx
A few things to mention:
The satellite reception is amazing. I get a lock very fast, indoors and in rooms not even close to a window. Amazing!
Routing: I have an old Mapsource City Navigator v.5 cd from my old eTrex Vista. Purchased MetroGold for $6, which made it route-able and now I have auto-route capabilities on it without having to purchase another unlock key for City Navigator.
Geocaching: Went over to geocaching.com and found a cache directly across the street from my house!
Anyway, it is fun...
Love my Etrex
My Etrex was my first Garmin and I still use it along with my 660 some times. But off road there is no substitute. Geocaching is a great hobby too...and a great way to get out and hike....

Yes it is fantastic for caching, I have 750 caches loaded for my area, I also have Southern Ontario Topo loaded ($175.)1:10,000 scale. Some of the other features are overkill for me but I love it.
