Default Installing GPS

I'm going to buy a Garmin Nuvi 1350T at Costco to mount in my 2010 RS.
I looked at many mounting options. Bean Bags, Vent Mounts, Sticky Back mounts, and so-on. There is one type of mount that especially caught my eye. It's a lighter socket mount by ARKON the part# is GN097-USB. I'm wondering if any of you have used this type of set up. How are the clearances and does it hold the GPS system steady. Any info would be appreciated.

i had the round disk that has the 3m tape on it (i assume thats the sticky back mount) it was really nice once you take the stand off its almost unnoticeable

I ended up using the suction cup window mount. I was able to tuck the 4.3" GPS unit way down the window left of the steering wheel. It looks like it was meant to go there. Best of all, it's easy to operate in that position. Of course I have to take it off the mount and put it in the center console's box to charge it up. They charge quickly enough, anyway.
