I bought the bundle with both HR and Cadence. I have a heart rate monitor from Polar but it is strapped to my arm. I like the idea of having everything in one large easy to read display.
A feature the Edge has that influenced my decision to buy is that it will compare my performance against a previous workout. So, I can check my pace and see if I am improving or not on the most difficult parts of my ride. Every day I ride a road near my house that has five big rolling hills; then once a week I ride farther and hit the sixth hill which maxes out my heart rate. I would like to see if my speed is increasing and my heat rate is decreasing going up that hill.
I am sure that the Garmin has other useful features as well.
