I have a Trek (do they still make computers?), a Sigma, and a Cateye Astrale 8 (each on a different bike).
I'm guessing you are talking about the Astrale 8 - I just got fed up with my Sigma ($65) last night and ripped it off the bike - I ordered a Cateye Astrale 8 (on sale at biketires direct for $27 + shipping) to replace it.
The Cateye is, to me, the most intuitive computer I've ever had, does everything. Simple to figure out which buttons to push. I had to read the instructions on the Sigma, and I still never get which button to push for what I want right. I also actually prefer the wired over the wireless, the wired seams less persnickety to me.
The only negative to the Astrale 8 is that it doesn't do average cadence - wish it did.
I've also been told that the "new" ones aren't as good as the old - I've got an old one, I'm waiting to find out what's been changed. I think maybe the mount is different.
