Garmin 500 best for HR and cadence???

[TsPoet]

If you want GPS capability, pay more for the Garmin.

If you don't need GPS, you're overpaying to get cadence and HRM with a Garmin.

this is really what it comes down to.

You've all helped me to look at this decision from different POVs. I feel much more informed!I will probably go the 500 route... I like the GPS. I'm kind of a tech nerd, so I'm sure I will love all those features.
