    Price Paid: $15.00
    Purchased At:Nashbar
    Strengths:Like having all info on one screen
    Weaknesses:Developed an electrical short in the mount and quit working. Was easily fixed with a pc of electrical tape on the 3rd contact. Just isolate the bottom contact from the one on the case it will work just fine.

    Bottom Line:Would buy again, maybe upgrade to the 9.0
