Which Model Nuvi to Buy?

My apologies if this post is not appropriate for this forum. I couldn't find a suitable category anywhere under Garmin Forums for this type of query.

My nuvi 350, which I've been happily using for 3-4 years, is about to give up the ghost, and my wife has offered to get me a replacement for my birthday. I've agreed to do some research, but after a couple of hours of looking at models and reviews, I'm pretty much overwhelmed. Instead of the 3 or 4 models that were available when I got my 350, there now seem to be 25 or 30. Voice activated, real-time traffic reports, Bluetooth, and many other features have been added since I got the 350. I don't need a lot of fancy features, but I don't want a bottom-of-the-line model either. The ability to play Audible books is a definite requirement. We listen to books both in the car and while walking around our neighborhood. Could someone recommend a starting point for considering replacement models? Price range probably $200-300.

    I believe there are 3 Nuvi's in your price range that can play Audible books. The 755T, 765T, and the 855. The 755T comes with built-in FM traffic information. The 855 does not come with traffic but does have voice recognition so you can enter voice commands. I see the price on Amazon as $150 for the 855 and $181 for the 755T. The 765T is the same as the 755T with the addition of bluetooth support.
