I have a Garmin Nuvi 660, I bought that one because it was flat at the times that Tomtoms were dome shaped. The dome shaped tomtom would stick too much into the car, so the flat Nuvi would look better.
Now that tomtoms are also flat I would not easily choose a Garmin again. The device works good and routing is accurate. But a tomtom is easier to operate. Some basic things a tomtom can (such as route planning from a different starting point then your current location) are nearly impossible on a garmin.
I would opt for the tomtom one XL Europe.

Just my 2cts.

PS, My previous car had a built in (aftermarket) VDO Dayton system. Although sometimes slow too operate (6 years ago) it is still superiour when compared to non-fixed systems. The accuracy of a built in system is far greater and it doesn't need to get a fix when it's turned on.
