Budget Cycle Computer?

Budget Cycle Computer?
Hello all.
I've just started to get into road riding recently... I've rode a mountain bike for about 5 years, and the past 2 years I've been commuting on a fixie that I built, now it's time for road bikes.
I picked up a Trek 1.2 the other day (I'm loving it so far! It's weird to be able to stop pedaling at some points, I'm so used to my fixie) Ha!
But I decided I would throw a cycle computer on there, I don't need something way over the top, but I don't want something that's not going have features that are useful, and I'll just end up upgrading in a few months.
I saw this tonight, at a local shop, https://www.amazon.com/BC1606L-CADENC.../dp/B000MRBPEG
and it was actually 2x that price!
It looked pretty nice, but I'm just wondering if you guys could throw me some other recommendations, in the up to ~$100 range.
Thanks

IMHO, Sigma computers are crap. But if you really want that model, it's $29.99 at Nashbar.

This is the computer I have and it's wireless.

just go to your nearest bike shop or favorite online seller and buy one for $20. They are commodities in that price range, imho. Use it for a season then spend more money on one that has the specific features you've decided you want.
