Yes, I picked up an 810 cheap, but it turns out it's not really an upgrade at all. I was about to ebay it and start keeping an eye out for a cheap 2nd hand 1000 on ebay, but I think I'd like to go with a different company on principle.
Battery drain is less of an issue for me (because I'm slow anyway so don't really care about running it off a hub dynamo all the time). But the idea of being able to control a device via phone does appeal because I'm not always near a computer when I want to upload routes or whatever.
The only negative stuff I found about Elemnts online seemed to be people complaining about power meter issues. But that was earlier on so suspect they've been resolved. Plus think it might have been non-standard power meters too.

My 800 is way better than the 810 I sent back. But the 1000 is better than both.
But yes, Wahoo have an actual living, breathing, listening software development group which is what appeals to me. I just don't want the hassle of learning another device's quirks just now.
Bluetooth? umadbro?! I never enable that shit. No BT, no wifi, no automatically syncing shit with shit. Because apart from battery drain, if there's one thing I know, it's that the more features that more chance Garmin devs have fucked it up or will fuck it up.
Powermeters ANT+ mostly so shouldn't be an issue with Wahoo. I've just not spent any time investigating and at £250 I'm not prepared to 'test' one.
