I have a 60CSx and I love it. You an turn the electronic compass on and off, so the battery issue shouldn't be as significant. I just carry lots of NiMH batteries with me, so it doesn't matter much.... The 60CSx is a very big improvement over my old Legend in a lot of ways - higher precision, larger memory size for maps, a color screen that is much more readable than the old Legend, USB connectivity to your computer, and many other new features. I can't compare it to an Explorist 600, since I've never used one of them. The 60C series also has some geocaching specific functionality. I think there's also still a $50 rebate active on it, though I might be wrong - I don't remember when it expires, but I was thinking the end of the year. I got mine back in August. Jim.
