Just do what @amey said, and you can test it:
Buy direct from them, they have a rapha style no questions asked 30 day returns you just have to send the box back to Belgium.
Loving mine so far. The turn by turn on routes from RWGPS seem solid. I've only been out on one 70km route with it but it worked flawlessly for me first time. I was at least expecting a few hiccups while I learn the device - nothing yet.
I for one would be really interested to hear how it copes with you mental audax types :)

I guess that might work, I didn't know about that. Might wait until I've got some longer rides planned though. God, do I really want another system?
Once the route is loaded onto it, does it need to talk to the phone still? I don't want to run Wahoo and phone at the same time.
Do they have maps on-board?

It's very good for the really long stuff. It copes with very long route files and ride recordings (longest so far is 660km). It's also fine about being plugged and unplugged during recordings. My old 810s would brick themselves if I tried anything so bold.
I've also found the battery to be pretty decent too. 10-12 hours using the map screen, but it recharges very quickly (I'm guessing it's relatively small capacity but fairly energy efficient).
Another benefit for audax riding is the ability to navigate using the LEDs. That means you don't need to have the screen illuminated during night riding.

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.
