Consider something besides an Edge 500?

I’m about to drop the cash on an Edge 500, but first I want to make sure I’m not leaving out any other good choices.

Budget is $300. Looking for bike use only (the 310XT is cool, but out of budget).

I need:
Wireless
Cadence
HR
Calories
GPS based and recordable

Any other suggestions?

705 or 800 are the only other options.

the ryder bryton t35/t30 (garmin knock offs) quite a bit cheaper. Hard to find because of their lawsuit with Garmin. Should be able to mail order them some where. Not sure if anyone on here is using one that could give a yay or nay to them

The new Joule GPS fits the bill and will be available next month.

wait a little bit and the Joule GPS will come out - I threw away my garmin 500 and bought a Joule 2.0 and have never looked back.
