I think it's already there. I've had both Wahoo (ELEMNT and BOLT) and Garmin (everything going back to when they started with bike computers) and I've switched completely to the Karoo. By year end, at their rate of improvement, I think it will be pretty obvious. It's probably a slight click below the 1030 now, but then again, it's $200 less so not sure that's a fair comparison. Software updates with feature upgrades are coming pretty much every 2 weeks. If navigation is important to you, I think the Karoo is clearly better. Map quality is better for sure.
