Navman S50? Comments Please.

I'm thinking of buying the Navman S50 Sat Nav. Has anyone out there got an opinion they would like to share with me before I part with my hard earned. Any one used the Traffic alert add on? Is it worth the extra?

I have the S30 and have noticed a few points, not sure how similar it is (sorry) but I'm guessing the software is similar -
It doesn't zoom the map when you get close to a junction (as TomToms do)
It doesn't really 'do' yards - it keeps saying 490 yards to go (obviously straight conversion from metres) rather than 500, which gets frustrating.
Good points -
Picks up satelites quickly, typically a few seconds.
Stupidly easy to use
Suction mount works fine.
Route planning is fine.
The screen of ETA, current speed, etc. is very good.

Would I get another? No - the automatic zoom is too useful.
