What are your guys thoughts? Compared to the K-Edge or Bar Fly?

I have a K-Edge. It looks great and holds the unit very securely.
My only concern about the K-Edge is that the locking tabs are aluminum, which is of course much harder than the plastic Garmin case and could wear some of the plastic away over time possibly causing issues with mounting in the K-Edge or other mounts. This one has the standard plastic mounting tabs which I would think might be preferable over the long haul.

I have two Bar Flys, both working fine, but the actual device mount does appear a bit fragile. If one were to break I would go either with the Garmin or K-Edge.

If this would have been available when I bought the Bar Fly I would have picked this instead.
The Bar Fly is great, just puts my 500 about 15mm higher than I'd like.

Dude not all of us can afford a Garmin! LOL
Maybe I'll buy this mount and hope the GF gets the hint and buys me my Edge 500! LOL

If this has the locking tab thingies the OEM mount has, I'll be picking one up... that's the only thing that I don't like about my bar fly mount right now.

Can anyone tell if the Garmin Out Front is aluminum or plastic? I'd prefer to use a plastic mount on the carbon bars on my Roubaix.
