i agree with livngood's post.
the Specialized Pro and the Ciclo CM414M are the ones i wrote about, and i also agree that both are good, but the Ciclo better and IF you also want the integreated HR monitor and computer download, the HAC4 is awesome! i also agree that for MTBing the "vertical gained" is the most important thing (not so for mountaineering) and in this respect, my Ciclo is MORE accurate than my $250 Sunnto precision mountaineering altimeter.
the computer interface is great for both for tracking tours and reports all kinds of stats like vert gained/lost, min/max, avg speed, % incline, temperature, etc.
