I have an Edge 520 and used Strava Premium for a while but found I get much better use out of Golden Cheetah for analyzing my Stages ride data.
Save the $50 for the mount and use it towards the Garmin.
hmm, I didn't really answer any of your questions...he he Sorry
I agree about Golden Cheetah, and if you can use the Stages app to record your power and send it to Strava/etc, and also view it in real time while you ride, that's the right answer.
