I like the 1030's size. Otherwise i'll be looking at the 520 or the bolt/elemnt. When i'm riding i want to be able to see clearly and quickly and safely where my next turn off is going to be. A bigger and clearer screen will improve situational awareness.
Garmin had this before they downsized the 800 series. The 500 series was smaller, the 800 series was mid-sized and the 1000 series was larger. Garmin could solve this going forward by making the next 8xx somewhere in between the the 520 and the 1030.
I think the 1030 is way to big but that's me. I can see where some want a large computer. I'd prefer something the size of the 810 with smaller bezels and a larger screen.
I may still end up getting a 1030 but time will tell how long I keep it due to it's size.
