Hi All.

Time has come when I need to step up and commit to a proper cycling head unit with a view to getting a power meter some time next year.

Not interested in any other brand expect the Garmin 1000 or 820.

How much does the reduced screen size on the 820 impact on readability to that of the 1000 for older riders with reduced vision effectiveness?

What does the 820 do that the 1000 cannot do in relation to power metrics?

What is the best setting to run the 1000 or 820 in darkness to achieve least drain on battery?

What field settings are best used on either of these units for serious training outdoors using power and HR metrics?

With the 1000 released in 2014, have most of the known bugs now been fixed in this unit?

What are the better mounting options and sensors to use with the 1000 or 820 that have been released?
