Yes, I would think so too. Of course it's a no brainier which Nav unit is better. No one would choose the standard Nav over the Nav Pro given the choice. It's just the question of if its worth that extra grand. I would say no but of course some people will say yes.

For me, no way is it worth a grand more, but that's because I know how relatively little I'll use the nav anyway, and I only listen to MP3s or radio in my car.  If the Pro nav only had a 5.8" screen with all of the extra features, but only cost £1,000, I highly doubt people would bother to spend the extra on the features.  It's all about the screen, and there's nothing wrong with that! :)

Definitely, each to their own. I'd imagine the larger screen coming in handy with the reverse camera.

Not sure what the camera resolution is to be honest, but 5.8" is more than adequate *ahem*... ;)

Spot on. It's one of the first options I added and mainly because I liked the 8" screen integrated into the dashboard. Plus I've never had sat nav built into any of my cars and I was adamant that I was going to get the full bells and whistles system this time.  :smiley:
