I'm not saying that because you've chosen the Touring model, I would personally never buy any Garmin device without this sort of protection.
I found a site that's a Garmin Factory Outlet and they sell factory rebuilt units for a good price. Thought I might order from them. I'll ask about their return policy though.
Thanks for the suggestion about the return policy.
