I'm looking forward to having real time Strava segments on my 1000.

Nice! I just bought an Edge 510 though

However I read the review and the comparison to other models, I don't think upgrading to the 520 from the 510 is more beneficial. Unless you want crapy maps and to have phone notifications pushed to your Garmin. I don't want phone distractions while I ride. Also since the rumor is most of the new features will be available for previous models I think keeping my new 510 is a smart choice. Thoughts?
