I'm currently plotting and planning my summer jaunt with Mrs. ER

Now I've set about twiddling, got basically the routes I want, then comes the quandry.
In Mapsource V.8 the maps end up being too big to have everything on my Quest. Thought then was "upgrade to a Zumo" This though comes obviously with the cost factor of the unit + installation + linking it to Autocom. The other option for a V.8 routing is to purchase a second Quest (seen them for £180 on-line) and have all the routes I need. I could also "lend" the Quest to a second member of our group for my Scotland trip so we have a couple of us with the same routes when we travel there.
OR
Use V.6 which seems to give me a lot more maps for my money. I can get all of the Euro route as well as the route down to Dover on it, and a little spare whereas V.8 I have just Europe and London area on.
Now I can assume can I that V.6 is less detailed and may not have some newer road layouts on it, I know certainly a new road near my home isn't on it. Would it however be good enough to get me round my tour without any hassle? As a staunch Yorkshireman the idea of saving money does appeal!!
Any thoughts much appreciated.
