^ Pick your poison. All three are great units, with the V1 being more expensive.

I'd personally avoid buying on eBay to save a few bucks because you lose any sort of warranty you'd have otherwise (at least with the Passport, which I have).

All three were review and the Bel came out on top but the V1 will always be upgradable.
