Default In dash GPS Sat Nav

I just bought my wife a Golf, so she keeps her mitts off my S2000. I want to get her a DIN sized Sat Nav system. Has anyone had any experience with one of these?

I don't mean the ones with the big screens that fold out, I want one the size of a head unit only.

These are the ones I've looked at:

most of the DIN sized ones with small screens take a single CD so you can play music too. The big screen ones need a boot changer which adds to the cost. (correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not 100% sure).

I guess if you can save that much money then go for the smaller unit.
