While I don't have the Edge, I do have the Garmin Forerunner 301. I think for me, the novelty wore off after awhile. I do think the included software, and motionbased.com is pretty slick. They both have endless features to help you manage your workouts. I just got sick of constantly taking my Forerunner inside to charge it up. I know Garmin made some big time advances with the Edge, but still, that price is pretty crazy. Especially if you get the HR monitor, and the Cadence. I think there are better ways to spend that much money, and stick with a cyclocomputer without the GPS.
