Background: I was training with power via a powertap and an Edge 705. However, I miss placed/lost my 705, and now I'm in need of a new head unit.

I saw that the new Bontrager Node computers are ANT+ compatible, including power. The question is, is there data logging with the Node computers or are they pretty much real time power only?

I have the Node 2 and it does not do any data logging. However, I have to say I really like the Node. Nice large screen, configurable split screen, etc. etc. How do you like the 705, I am thinking of getting one - and really getting serious about the 705?

The 705 is nice. Much more reliable then the 305 which suffered from random shut offs, better battery life, but if you have a Mac, the compatibility is pretty bad. It says that it is, but it really isn't 100%
