city navigator vs. citiXplorer

Greetings,
I am new with GPS devices, ready to purchase the Garmin Oregon 300 and I was wondering if City navigator North America has the same level of details and for instance support pedestrian navigation on the same level of details as the cityXplorer.
I probably would not need the entire North American maps for the near future, and if the cityXplorer is more detailed, I would get the metropolitan area I am interested for now (Portland OR in my case)
Thank you.

Should I understand the Oregon series do not have pedestrian navigation as well? I thought there is a so called recreational mode that works as a pedestrian type profile (where say one way streets are not restricted, freeways are not suggested, etc)
I don't know about avoiding one way streets - we have a thread in the Nuvi forum where someone complains about pedestrian mode on the older Nuvi's avoiding one way streets. Personally I never understood what actually happens when you select "pedestrian" on the older Nuvis.
I only use my Oregon with Topo maps which aren't routable. But I would be surprised if it supported the special CityXplorer functions of routing via public transit or bus schedules.
If you try the CityXplorer maps please report back to us since there's a lot of confusion on this topic.
I must say, now that I have it for 3 days .. I like this toy :)
