I can pick one of these up on Ebay right now for $135 (so can you......lol)

The bundle can be had for +/- $250

What does the 510 and 520 do that the 500 doesn't? Cliff's notes is fine. Just an overview, and I'll be appreciative.

The bundle has cadence sensor. I'd like that for sufferfest. I have a 310XT and I'm likely due a new HR strap anyways.

Thanks.

The bottom of his review has a table that compares the three units.  He has always listed the 500 as a best buy - it's a great cycling computer.

The 500 is a great product.  I do not know much about the 510.  I just wanted to add that I opted out of the bundle in order to use these Garmin sensors.  Way easier to swap between bikes or wheel sets.

DC Rainmaker's review is all you want to know and more.

The cliff notes version is that.

The 510 adds color screen, touch screen, bluetooth upload capability, and has room for more fields per page, or bigger display of the same amount of fields.

The 520 is similar to the 510 but it got rid of the touch screen, adds bluetooth alerts (like text messages and missed calls), and has improved mapping functions.

The 500 is the best bang for your buck.  But I've gotten spoiled with bluetooth uploads on my 510.  I ride about 12x a week including commuting, so plugging the computer in with a hard wire to upload is a PITA.  If I were still a triathlete who only rode 3x per week, the bluetooth uploads wouldn't matter as much for me.
