Got a deal on it at $240 plus 1 year strava membership.
Another vote for the 520. I've had a 500 and 800 and the 520 is an improvement over both. Decent screen, enough storage for a local/regional map, compact size and the convenience of wireless upload. I tried the live segments and ended up turning them off.
