Patrick,
There's a nice article in Ocean Voyager 2008 (that's the summer issue of Ocean Navigator) on sextants. It explains quite a few facts about the difference between the whole-horizon mirror and the traditional mirror that I haven't seen anywhere else. This is one of the important choices you have to make in deciding what to buy.
