HELP finding a GPS with...

I'll spare you the long explanation of why but I am looking for a new GPS
unit that has two features my Magellan 315 has that I do not want to give
up.

The first feature is the ability to view the same position in TWO coordinate
system and datum's (independently selectable) on the same screen. i.e.,
When I use my Magellan 315 GPS with maps I generally am using a Topo with
UTM and NAD27 as the datum. At the same time I carry an Aerial Photo of the
same area with a Lat/Lon grid overlay in WGS84. I know you can get the
information from any GPS by going into the setup menu and changing the
coordinate system and datum manually. My 315 allows me to set a primary and
secondary coordinate system and datum and view them both at the same time on
one screen. Very handy when trying to find your position quickly in the
field on two different maps!!

The second feature is displaying the UTM coordinates with different font
size for the 1000th numbers. i.e., x52xxxE, xx08xxxN. This is the way the
315 displays the coordinates and is like Topo maps display UTM coordinates.
I like this format because when I am in the field and reading the
coordinates from left to right I am much less likely to make a plotting
errors when working with a map. Every other GPS I have seen displays all
the numbers of a UTM coordinate all in the same font size. In my experience
I tend to make many more plotting errors when all the digits

Does anybody know of a GPS that has these two features?
