I went with a cateye v3, which has time, distance, speed, cadence, HR, all wireless. It's been great for the past year, but knowing that come next season I'll probably spring for a power meter, I regret not spending the extra $$ right away. I think I'd also get at least some use out of the additional benefits of the garmin. Now i'm in the same boat...although I won't be buying one until 6-9 months from now, I've started looking into which garmin to purchase. 500, 705, and 800 all look great.
