New GPS? Used 60Csx or New 62s

So I am in the market for a new GPS. I have an OLD Garmin Vista, but I have been wanting something newer for some time.

This is mainly for hunting / camping / hiking and Mountain Biking. I would love to load topo maps and such for when I go Elk Hunting.

I am looking at either an used 60Csx or a new 62s.

Cabela's has the 62s on sale for $329 New (backordered) or I find a used 60csx for less than $200.

Which one should I get and why?

I don't have any anecdotal experience to share, but I saw your question remained unanswered, so I figured I'd try to help a bit.

Good luck, and please post again if you come to a decision.

I bought a new 60csx on clearance last year. I don't use it often but like it. nice color screen, some free maps available. gets the job done in a nice compact rugged package. I'm happy with battery life but it eats through eneloops quickly. I don't know about the newer version.

Thanks for the links. I think I am going to go with a used 60Csx. It is plenty for what I need and will save me some $$...
