The Quest and SPIII can have a map of the cameras loaded but won't give a warning. The Quest 2 is the only one which will warn you when you are near the cameras so that's the one to go for.
Quest 2 also has all the Europe maps pre-loaded rather than just the UK or a single country.
The Street Pilot III is well outdated now, don't buy it.

Also consider the Nuvi range which has a bigger touch screen and also supports the "POI Loader" for Speed Cameras. The Nuvi is not waterproof like the Quest is though.

Also look at the RAM mounts - http://www.ram-mount-uk.com/ they aren't as Gucci as the Touratech ones but they are substantially cheaper.
As for the locking mechanism, I don't have a problem with slipping my Quest into my pocket. It isn't that much bigger than a mobile phone. You really don't want to leave it on the bike for longer than a few minutes or some toe rag will find a way to smash it off......
