Nice larger color screens, more memory/features and better map capabilities.

$201-$401

Usually they are better. (Maps, OS, etc).

more details on maps, memory, and maybe some speed. My HP6515 GPS/phone/PDA rules @ $200.

Basically more features in both hardware and software. It all depends on what you are going to be doing if a $99 will work or if you need to step up to more exspensive models.

Would the 99$ models be sufficient to go geocaching?

Better accuracy, quicker sattelite acquisition.

YES - you can go geocaching with a $99 GPS.
