Go with garmin. I would also suggest a map version with the Bluecharts installed. The entry level machine that offers these options is the 162.

Are the color units worth the extra money?

Not to be A smartass but it depends on what you can afford and how well you can see.

I have A 182 which is B&W I am old and poor. now wish I had the largest color unit Garmin made. I do still love my 182. You need to go out with A friend and give each A try. its A decision thats personal.

When installing bluechart is it better to use the chip or get a cd/rom
disc?
