I find the 24K Topo (West) set very useful for my hiking needs. But YMMV, depending on the part of the country and where you hike.

So true. I looked at 24K Topo when I bought my 76CS, and found it to be entirely useless for my purposes -- backpacking in wilderness areas in Oregon and Washington. But I've found the standard Topo product to be extremely useful despite its limited resolution, especially in conjunction with the more detailed paper maps I always carry. But I'd love to have 24K GPS maps for the areas where I hike -- hopefully they'll be available some day.
