If your going to get garmin with all those additionals I would be more inclined to get the 1000.
I borrowed a 810 which for me the bluetooth connectivity is awesome but the device i have heard mixed review of its durability, bit like the 510s. (EDIT: echoing what Fox is saying really)
so reverted back to the 800 - work disabled all usb connection until i put a request it and explain why - so have to take the sd card out and put that into the card reader - which in all honesty i dont mind

It's not effort, it is the inconvenience.
I intended to do this when I got the 800, and did it a handful of times and generally just do not bother.
Upgrading is about convenience not about effort. If it's one more thing I don't have to remember to do, one more time I don't need to put the computer on, remove the SD card or GPS from the bike... then great. I'm far more likely to use it.
The 800 gets a few outings a year for solo rides where I need routing, an 820 that constantly syncs via the phone would be used on every ride.
The value I get from the 800 because of the inconvenience is low. The value I'd get from the 820 would be high if the sync'ing just means I'd leave it on the bike all the time and only charge it every few days.
