Strada / Astrale ?

I'm looking for a non-GPS, non-heartrate computer, preferably in the <= $50-ish range more or less. Right now Nashbar has a sale on some of them and I'm trying to educate myself.
  • Wired vs. wireless? Is the easier/cleaner install of wireless worth the hassle of replacing batteries? Or do they last long enough to make it a moot point?
  • In terms of screen layout, can you configure the larger (or smaller) digits to display the specific data you want? That is, I've seen various photos where sometimes the large digits are speed, other times they're cadence, etc.
  • I've been looking at CatEye since they seem to be popular, but I'm open to others.
  • For a recreational rider, how importance is having cadence continuously displayed, as opposed to having a clock available and just counting for 10 seconds now and then?
  • Any other gotchas, tips?

Here are four that kinda stood out from the rest, given my needs:Thanks.
