I've got a Garmin Edge 500, which I really like. I use it with the stock bar mount, so it's right on top of the handlebars next to the stem. Noticed that they make a mount that clamps to the handlebars and puts the computer out front a little more. Was curious if anybody has tried the two different locations and if they feel it is worth it to get the forward bar mount as compared to the stock on the bar mount? Biggest advantage I can see is that the stock mount uses rubber O rings to hold the mount,which could snap off, while the forward bar mount can be purchased in aluminum, so wouldn't have to worry about losing the Garmin on a ride. I can see it being out front being a little more visible and maybe easier to touch the buttons, but don't want to spend $ on something that doesn't make that much difference.
Something like this:

Thanks in advance.
