An hour to wire a computer???
I'd say installation time wired vs wireless to be about a wash. While you do have to figure out how to run the wire neatly, a handful of zip ties are usually all that is needed for a quick, neat installation.
The drawback to wireless computers is that they have a very limited range and are sometimes sensitive to objects, like brake arms that are in the computer's line-of-sight. I install the magnet and pickup first, and then spin the wheel and hold the head to be sure I'm getting a signal. Then I hold the head where I plan to mount it on the handlebar to be sure that I'm still getting a signal. It's not normally a big deal but then neither is running the computer wire.
The bike computer that I recommend for most people is the Cateye Enduro. They're cheap and it has a fatter wire that's less likely to get broken.
