I find them very valuable so I can look at certain segments of every ride and see if I improved or not from the other times. It's not easy to look at your watch and get tenths of a second at that bottom of a hill and then again when you are cresting the top and do the mental math while continuing to ride.
I'm not giving up anything. I don't ride with GPS now. Not going to start. Don't need it. I live in a small community and there are only so many roads. I ride the same three or four routes over and over again.

Thanks for the report. I'm still strongly leaning towards the Cateye posted above. Like you, I have several bikes so will likely order two or three.
