Question looking at getting a all in one GPS

I still have my Axim X5 and I have a Asus Mypal A730W a bit confused on which one I should get.. I have tomTom on my mobile phone which to my surprised (big iguidance user here) I was impressed with it driving down to N.C. and taking me way out in a county of N.C. I'd never heard of..

i liked the update speed of the tomtom.. I know here people say it just predicts where you are going to be next but it helps in NYC when you need to drive in a long tunnel and your exit is right after the tunnel..

these are the model's I'm looking at here..

Navigon 7100
Globalsat GV-370

his past Christmas, she bought me a Magellan Roadmate 1412 on super sale (Dec 1 at Staples) for $150. They seem to be regularly available for $200. I love the Magellan, even more than the Garmin. The big feature they both have is text-to-speech, which I find invaluable.
