Southern California - Suggestions for a cycle computer with altimeter

I need a new cycle computer and would like to have an altimeter function. Any suggestions?

Here is what I'm looking for -
--------------------------
The usual features (speed, distance, etc.)

Altimeter

Decent size display (No small numbers)

No heart rate or cadence required

Grade would be nice

price range ~ $100 - $150

wireless

Here's what I've found so far -
VDO MC1.0+ for ~ $130
Vetta V100A WL2X ~ $120

Thanks -

VDO MC1.0+ is what I use and highly recommend.

Find a Garmin Edge 305, you don't have to use the HR/cadence functions.... should be able to find a cheap one now, I got a factory refurbished unit and haven't had an issue in almost a year of use...

I was leaning toward the MC1.0+ because of their reputation with other gauges. Didn't know if there was anything else out there.

Thanks for the feedback.

The only problem I had with the Garmin is that I kept forgetting to turn it on / off. I guess I got too use to auto start / stop. No fault of Garmin. Sold it to a friend.

+1 on the VDO MC.1+ though it can be hard to read on the fly. Altimeter is surprisingly consistent on my regular routes.

How about this one for $90:

Well, in that case I would go with the Blackburn Neuro with the altimeter.... I was going back and forth between that and the Garmin.
