That translates into $223 American plus whatever they are going to charge you for shipping. $173 if you include the rebate in the price. A pretty good price.
The Venture Cx is a good unit but doesn't come with the MicroSD card and USB cable. MicroSD cards are cheap enough and you can buy the USB cable cheap enough (or if you have mini-USB cable for a digital camera, you may already own the cable - usually under ten dollars). Even if you would upgrade to the Legend CX, the MicroSD card that they give you is only 64mb, so you'll end up buying a bigger one anyone.
The 76cx will run you about twice the price of the Venture Cx but like spinmaker said, it has a larger display screen (and I'll add, a much larger unit)
Display specs.
76Cx - Display: 1.5” W x 2.2” (3.3 cubic inches) H, 2.6”-diagonal, 256-color, transflective TFT (160 x 240 pixels)
Venture Cx - Display: 1.3"W x 1.7"H; (2.21 cubic inches) 256 color transflective TFT; display 176x220 pixels
Explorist 500 - The display is slightly larger than the Venture Cx but only has a 16-color 122x160 pixel screen
