Personally, I think Strava is a better site for seeing how you improve over particular courses and segments. MMR is fine, but it's more for discovering new routes and sharing routes with others. In addition to having all the functionality you want in one device, you'll also find the battery life of a Garmin device is better than doing the equivalent functions using a phone.
Thanks for the input, I will take a look at my options. I just wanted to get some feedback from actual users of the Garmin series. I will have to take a look at the Strava, I do like MMR because I can share that with friends and see what route they are doing.

Thanks,
PJ
