My Edge 800, used well since early 2015, has been worse and worse on batter and even the power button broke (the seal, the button still worked with some gimmicky pushing). After looking on the options I decided to buy Lezyne Mega XL GPS and I am very happy with it. Battery life is wonderful, monochromatic display is enough and easily readable regardless of conditions, finally got some smartphone integration. Maps are OSM based so also fine, just requires phone connection for starting navigation. Also cheap second hand, sold Edge and only had to pay 30GBP extra for perfect condition Lezyne.

Yeah absolutely fair enough, it sounds good and in line with my vaaalues of 'there's usually a cheaper, better, more eco/whatever option' !
I've actually got a second hand Edge (800...?) whose battery is very much on the way out, so considering options/whether battery replacement for the Edge is really feasible
