Add me to the "happy Garmin 500 users" list. I've had mine for almost a year. Bought it on sale at PBK last March, with all the extras (HRM strap & cadence/speed sensor) in the neutral color scheme (which I preferred over the blue) for a dirt cheap price. Think I paid $226 for everything...best money I've spent on a bike computer. I have it set up with 4 data items on each of the screens, because my old eyes wouldn't be able to see anything smaller than that.
