Get the 1040. Only real difference is the screen is very slightly better on the 1050 on the map. Data screens look the same. As far as I can tell, the software is essentially the same. 1040 got the USB-C port which is an improvement, battery life is 35 hrs, vs. 20-25 for the 1050. You can still get 1040's new and often on sale.
The 1050 is the screen on the right
