Lastly, why do you want a computer? You should get one for 1 thing specifically, watts. If you're following people; speed and cadence doesn't give you a good estimate on how to keep a pace line. You need a power meter (which is give or take 500 dollars) just FYI.
100% agree. IMO the best cycling investment is a power meter
