Bought the 1000 about 6 months ago for $250 by using my 300 trade in.
The 2000 was $300 more. I have wondered if I should have gotten the
2000, but I am perfectly happy with the 1000. It is a very nice unit.
Actually I think the bw may be easier to read. From the pictures I've
seen it appears less cluttered. YMMV
