How is the warranty compared to a brand new unit?
I've had good experience buying a refurbished unit, and if the warranty is the same, I wouldn't hesitate to repeat it, as Garmin often is fair and nice to deal with if there is something wrong with the unit within the warranty period.

First, that company isn't Garmin.
Second, the prices aren't the best. (Edge 500 Bundles are ~$295 or the computer only ~$210)
Third, a warranty for electronics isn't as important as other bike parts. Most all Garmins die because of crashing to the ground, which won't be covered under any warranty, regardless of the number of days it takes to hit the pavement.

OT but if Gamins die by hitting the ground then buy Polar instead. I threw my polar CS400 unit at a cars rear windscreen in a fit of rage after a race and it went straight through! Shattered the glass, the Polar was unscathed.

If the Polar is only going trough the windscreen, then buy an hand grenade.
I would recommend buying based on customer service rather than price as things tend to go wrong with portable electronic gadgets. I bought my edge 500 from wiggle then sent it back after about 390 days after the mounting lug snapped with a note saying I was fed up being an unpaid beta software and hardware tester. It was refunded the same day with no questions asked. I have not had the same experience with other retailers.
