The 1030 battery life is nice, as is the more normal USB slot location. But the screen contrast and the screen redraw rates are shit (you've probably seen my whinging about them on twatter). So I run the screen brighter than I did with the 1000 and I'm still trying to get used to it being slow when dealing with multi lane RABs. Screen redraws while its loading a route is also shit so be aware of that - you can swipe to a non-map screen and back again to get it to refresh a lot of the time.
I put a new saddle on for last weekend's 600 and prefer it to the one I had so it's staying and so I've had to put a shorter stem on last night. I'd still like to get some SPD shoes but I'm running out of time for that so what I might do is carry a pair of shoes or something on top of the saddle bag.

Time to up the procurement activity: am having issues with my old Garmins not charging while in use, so just ordered a 1030. It sounds pretty good and I like the idea of the integrated battery pack - although it may not work as may not want to mount it in the right place..
Next I need to buy a few more pairs of shoes as that is my current panic.
I've got a new light on the way from Germany, and I need to fit my recent 'urgent' rush purchases that have been sitting in the hall for a few weeks: new extenstions, seatpost and stem.
