The best deal I'm seeing currently on the 1030 Plus is $449 from Bike Closet (new). While the original 1030 is available as a certified refurb from GPS City for $270. I considered both of these before jumping on the $99 Edge Explore. The extra battery life and Trailforks integration of the 1030 Plus, in particular, appeal to me. Mostly though, I've been interested in trying a Varia Radar on my road bike and the Edge explore was the cheapest head unit with a decent display size that would interface to a Varia. That the RVR315 showed up on sale at the same time just made the decision that much easier.
