If you're only doing 50mi on the weekend and cash is tight then maybe not.
I'm pretty much in the 50mi on the weekend camp! But, my 700 was probably one of the best cycling purchases I ever made and got me out a lot more! Although I've updated the map on the 800, I think I'm going to get the 1030 Plus.
As much as it pains me to say it, the 1030 Plus is the best unit they've made and I'm struggling to fault it. Maybe that's because I've used every other unit and they've all been fucking shit in some regard :) I've not gone to the 1040 because the 1030+ has been great.
