Replacement for Cateye Astrale 8
I recently placed an order for a Cateye Astrale 8. However the order was cancelled due to lack of stock, even though the amazon ad is still up.
Amazon.com : Cateye CC-CD200 Astrale 8-Function Bicycle Computer : Sports & Outdoors
I want a WIRED bike computer with cadence that has a switchable main display between cadence and speed. Many of the cadence computers can only display cadence on the main display, and it's not switchable.
Also, I don't want any of that smart crap. It's ridiculous to buy essentially a smartphone for my bike...

By a strange coincidence, I was browsing through my LBS on Saturday (they still have the Astrale in stock!). They also had a Sigma 16.12 (IIRC) with cadence there that was wired. Sorry, I don't know the specifics of what the display shows, but it was a larger head unit than the Astrale.

I just did a bunch of research on this when my cateye enduro 8 gave up the ghost and the only replacement I could find came from Japan at an exorbitant cost. The cateye padrone looks good but it doesn't have cadence I believe. I ended up getting a GSP enabled cateye (the stealth 50). It's great not having wires; it's even greater being able to switch the bike between different computers without worrying about calibrating the computer.
