RCD510
Nice little upgrade, not as spec'd up as the RNS but can be had for a couple of hundred cheaper, however if you have a car that's earlier than a MY08 car you'll need the canbus gateway thingy updating with a new one that works with the 3rg generation stereos, the older gateways will drain your battery.
New gateway and fitting *could* set you back £150-200 so it sort of comes to the same price as an RNS.
If you pick up an older RNS you can fit this without the need for the gateway update.
RCD 510 comes with 6 CD MP3 changer built in, SD slot and a nice touchscreen
RNS 510 has a single DVD/CD slot, NAV, SD slot, higher res touchscreen, built in hard drive
