Yes, David, there appears to be about a $20. difference between identical
models with and without "Free" lifetime updates. Click on any of the LM
suffix models in Garmin's site such as shown in the link below and you will
see Garmin's clear statement to "Enjoy FREE Lifetime Map updates" with
the 'LM' products.

Personally, I agree with you.; I think the added cost is well worth it for
lifetime updates.

The Garmin 42 is $109.99 and you get to pay for map updates.
The Garmin 42LM is $129.99 and you don't have to pay for map updates.
All the other models I saw in a quick look were priced the same way -- with
lifetime map updates was $20 more than the same device without the lifetime
map updates.
$20 for map updates for the life of the device seems to me to be a good
deal, when buying a map update seems to be $59.99 for a single update.
Nowhere do I see on the Garmin web-site the claim that their lifetime map
updates include the word "free."
