Garmin Edge 500 bundle
Looking to buy a Garmin Edge 500 with heart rate monitor and cadence. The price is pretty consistent @ $350. I see that the base unit (without cadence sensor and HRM) is $250.
But separately I can get the HRM and cadence/speed sensor (GSC 10) for $45 and $36, respectively. I usually expect a bundle to be cheaper, but in this case it is ~$20 cheaper to buy separately.
Am I missing something?

OP, I bought my Edge 800 from Nashbar during a 15% off sale so that I could get a warranty from an authorized dealer. I got my HR strap and GSC-10's from Amazon like you suggest. I saved about $50 over the bundle on sale at Nashbar.

It looks like it's break even at 20% off ($280) for the 500.
