I have a K edge and a barfly. Both work good. Having the computer out in front makes it easier for me to read while riding. I no longer have to tilt my head down to view it on the stem. I can keep my head facing forward and tilt my eyes down quickly.

Plus the downward force keeps the rear solid at high speeds

I dunno I can't quite see the screen perfectly with a forward mount and I tried tiling it up but still get some glare. I just left it alone haha, if anyone has a better solution I'm all for it

Lift is upward force.

thanks for the suggestions, my preference is stability, security, and viewing angle. I probably will just end up trying a few of them. K-edge is just a lot of money to hold a computer though.
