Mounting Garmin Edge on Aero Bars

I was thinking about getting the Edge 305 and would like to mount it on the stem of my bike (nowhere else to mount it, really). However, I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me if reception would be compromised when I am in the aero position (my body would be hovering over the unit). Does the unit near a clear shot of the sky to get reception?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The unit will usually have a lock on several satellites at different positions in the sky , so the odds of your blocking more than one (if you block any at all) are slim. I've mounted mine on my aerobars (my powertap computer is on my stem) and haven't noticed any difference regardless of my position.
