No, I've used both. You never need the compass nor GPS height information for 
OSM.

If you just want to record traces, then a good logger is a cheaper choice. If 
you want to add information to OSM in area's where there is already data, 
then the ability to display OSM maps is very big pro for the GPSMap60 series.

The only logger I have experience with: BT-Q1000P, which is MTK based, has a 
lot more problems with urban canyoning than the Garmins I used.
