I'm really glad to hear that, and thanks for the tip about the magnet mounting screw. It's really incredible how much satisfaction you can get for $6.
But think about it. The cyclocomputer was invented in the late 70's, just a few years after the digital watch. There are probably not many chips in all the various models. The design is well understood, and tooling is long since paid for. Like digital watches, it just doesn't take much to produce them any more. There's not much reason to pay much for them any more.
