This is usually a good time to go to your local store and have the guy working there show you how the units work and you can see both in action. "user friendly" can mean a lot of thing to a lot of people. With an investment like you are thinking about making, you owe it to yourself to get some hands on time on any unit you are considering. Get a good idea what you want, and dial in the questions from there. Plenty of guys that own the units and answer specific questions, but to as which we would buy will get you plenty of answers, but little actual info. If you want to know specifics about features, additional items that can be added, etc, we can probably help you.
