From all of the post about the 396, it seems there are some major
reliability problems, even with some Garmin units.

Really? I have one, and it's fantastic. I've only seen a handful of
posts from people with problems, and Garmin seems to resolve them
without much of a fuss. I'd guess that Garmin's failure rate on the
hardware is very, very low, given that they sold thousands of the units
during Oshkosh alone.
