After a couple of rides with an Edge Explore I'm going to see if I can still return and get a 530. I thought the touchscreen would be worth it over the extra features, but it's not as good as I hoped. And battery life is really unimpressive, I can see it dropping off to unusable within a year. If they don't accept returns I'll try to flog it, payed €164 for it so should be able to sell without a significant loss.
What kind of battery life were you getting? I had been considering one of these before lockdown (mainly for the mapping). DC Rainmaker had given them a fairly good review. The touchscreen was one of the things that I wasn't keen on though.
