Urgent advice on Garmin Edge 800 or Forerunner 310XT

[Zatek]

Hi hubbers

 

Need quick advice which one to buy the Edge 800 of Forerunner 310XT or should I go for the Edge 500?

 

My previous unit was the Forerunner 305 so looking for a unit that can give me the same data or more interms of cycling.

 

There is R1200 dif between the 2 and thats why I can't decide.

It will only be used for cycling but I need a new unit that can give me power readings.

 

I need to have the unit on Monday.

Well if it is only going to be used for cycling purposes then the edge would be perfect

Is worth paying the extra R1200 just for a cycling computer?

Go for the Edge 500

 

There are much more power data available with the latests software update.

Now 5 pages each with up to 8 data fields and on a quick tally last night 61 different options to choose what you want to display

Thanks, I will go with the 500.
