I have both - or rather my wife and I have 2 of each, a 60C and 60
CSx as well as my wife's preference, a 76S and
a 76CSx.

Her 76S used to be mine and I did like it at the time but when the 60C
became available, I went for that instead and have preferred it ever
since.

I agree that the 76 does sit better in the hand but the 60 is still
very easy to use one-handed. I took a couple of pictures last night of
each unit in my hand but they're at home now so I can't bring them up
to show.

The one other thing the 60 has which the 76 does not is the belt clip
button which makes it very easy to attach the gps to a knapsack strap
or belt. You probably have that on your Gilson case, Jack, but still,
it's a factor when making the decision on which to buy.
