Default Sat Nav / GPS advice

Greetings all

I'm getting quite annoyed trying to work out which GPS to get. I'm
finding it hard to get decent comparison sites - even CNET is pretty
**** imho...

So far, I've narrowed it down to:
TomTom One XL
- like the size
- like the price
- lacks text to speech
- not sure about the speed camera alerts etc, but I presume I can just
d/l the appropriate POI?
- well supported internationally

TomTom 910
- like features
- expensive
- ugly

Garmin Nuvi 660
- like features
- looks good
- expensive, but not an issue
- might not be as supported (with custom POIs) as Tomtom

RoadAngel 7000
- Aussie only I think
- therefore potentially not well supported
- reasonable size
- is a bit expensive

So... ??? Overall, I think I am swaying towards the Garmin - but I
like TomToms (as a brand) better...

My needs/wants: I don't care about hard drive/mp3 capabilities. My
main wants are size, gps functionality, gps/poi features...

Any other suggestions?
