Advice Needed: Bike Computer

Im looking at getting a bike computer for training purposes. I want it to at least have a cadence, max speed, avg speed, current speed, time, and an odometer. Something under $50 would be great.

If you want wired and ~30$ then Cateye Astrale 8 works well. Sometimes on sale for even less.

Sigma Sport 1600 - Its now on sale for around $26 with cadence counter. Search "Froogle". The display is much larger than average, and the printing ("Average Speed, Cadence, etc.) is really legible, which you can't say for all computers.
