I've got the Sigma on one bike and Flight Deck on the other. I prefer
actual cadence to estimated cadence. Half the time I don't trust what
Flight Deck is telling my anyway, it's a clunky computer and not
intuative at all. Every battery replacement is a serious pain, having to
reprogram all of the gears...maybe they fixed the friendliness in the
latest versions...I dunno. Only criticism with the Sigma is it chews
batteries.
The Campy uses a real cadence sensor.

Hi Paulie I have an Astrale and an Echo F2. The Echo works great except
you can't move the display around like the Astrale. I prefer the cadence
in larger size numerals. The Echos are about the same price and might be
worth a look at though.

Hi,
I have a Sigma 1200 (you have to buy an attachment (about $16.00) to
display cadence) it's been great. I got caught in a total downpour not
long ago and it didn't miss a heart beat. It's also packed with useful
features.
My only gripe, and it's a small one, would be that it doesn't have a
sleep function to maximise battery life but other than that it's great!

John, I have the 1200 too. How much battery lif are you gettig out of
yours? Mine is atrocious, around 6 months.
