Also, for cadence, just use the Wahoo Cadence sensor and attach it to your cleat for dual bike use. In short, if you just get one each Wahoo cadence and HR strap, from what I see you don't need anything else no matter which device you buy. As far as auto sensing two different bikes, you'd likely need two speed sensors. Also, you'll probably still need to hit start and stop with both if you want the trip logged. Note: I don't own either one, but I do use Wahoo cadence/hr sensors. Tough decision.
Thanks for the advice. I have flat pedals, so likely need 2 cadence sensors.
I wonder if I can get a second one of those holders to use just one computer for both bikes.

I'm fine with the GPs speed accuracy. I even think GPS may be more accurate since tire pressure changes circumference. I'm not concerned about losing speed for the rare occasion I'm in deep forest or in a canyon.
