Is the Edge 520 better in this regard?...or...is there a better cycling computer that is easiest to see with bigger font size? I mostly want speed, power and heart rate shown on the screen at one time.

Thanks
I haven't had a 520 in front of me, but check out DC rainmaker's reviews He usually offers a size comparison with the screens on.

Here's one link for the 520 (not 520+): https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/07/...-edge-520.html

I have the 510 myself and can read it well, but have younger eyes. With only three or four fields on one screen, I think it would work well. The screen has a much better contrast than the venerable 500.
