Value

Much better value than going upscale to Garmins next Edge product the 800 series.

(5)

Appearance

Went with black versus blue.

(5)

Performance

High.

Strengths

Incredible amounts of information available. Got the HR monitor and cadence sensor. Highly recommend buying these additions to the unit if you're into all the techno data. Found I can upload my rides to multiple online locations, saves a lot of time.

Weakness

No shadow feature where you ride against your best run.
Adding ANT/Power meter is very expensive still.
No Bluetooth capability for wireless transfers to your computer.
