Bontrager Node 1 computer anyone got it?

[Darkmarkster]

My new bike should be here soon and im thinking of getting the Bontrager Node 1 computer paired with a Duotrap sensor for the chainstay.

Has anyone got this computer that could offer any reviews on how it is? Is it worth paying the extra money for the Node 2 or?

I recently bought the Node 2, as it included the HRM sensor. I also then bought the O_synce speed sensor as it was cheaper than the Bontrager equivalent. I'm happy with it with a few notes:

• you need to download the electronic manual from the website, the included book - actually in billions of languages gives only the merest details
• the security of the computer in the mount is not good - I'm trying to find if I've missed something out but nothing comes to mind yet; but it has fallen out on the road. At present I have a elastic band to keep it secure

I love the idea of ANT+ and may add a cadence/speed sensor to my road bike that I sometimes use on a turbo. The Node 2 handles two bikes, also has the temp and altitude stuff. As I have it on my new tourer the alt and temp will be welcome.
