[cool][#0000ff]I bought the 168, but have often wished I had spent a few bucks more for the wider screen model. Otherwise, I have been more than happy with my choice.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]My personal feeling is that you will get better performance and a longer trip by using a 12 volt gel cell. Also, unless you get rechargeable bitty batteries, you will spend a fortune on replacements. Even then, by the time you buy a full set of NiMH batteries, you might as well get the SLA.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Still, as with all things, there are options and there are opinions. I have given mine.[/#0000ff]
