Buying an altimeter

Alright, it's official, I'm going to get one. Mainly because myself and a friend of mine have a difference of opinion about the highest point on a particular ride, and I see this as the only gentlemanly way to settle it. Well, I guess there are other reasons, such as confirming or denying the "4,000 metres of climbing" claim someone made at the Glorious Mee ride last year, and putting on some impressive numbers on the Great Alpine Road in November, and... Ok, so you get the idea.

Does anyone have any recommendations in this area? Right now I have my eye on the Cateye Altimeter Cycle Computer because other Cateye computers I've used have always worked pretty well (one even recently went through my washing machine and survived). Anybody used one of these before?
