GPS City has now dropped the price on 1030 refurbs to $250. If it goes any lower I'll start second guessing my purchase of the Edge Explore.
Also worth noting for those who want to deal with overseas shipping... r2-bike in Germany has the 1030 Plus on sale for 332 Euro. Even with 25 Euro shipping cost the favorable exchange rate makes the total shipped cost to the US about $380 - substantially cheaper than the best current domestic price on these. Many European vendors won't ship Garmin (and lots of other brands) to the US, but I got all the way to the payments page and r2-bike was apparently ready to take my order. YMMV.
