Well, I went ahead and bought an Avocet 50 on Saturday.  After about 30
miles and 1000 feet of climb, I'm happy as a clam.

Avocet obviously put some careful thought and testing into this computer.
It has auto stop/start on its average speed, of course.  It also has a 
kind of auto stop/start when it accumulates total climb.  It only counts
the distance climbed when the wheels are turning.  So climbs that your
car makes do not get counted in the figure for total climb since the 
batteries were installed.  It also only counts climbs that are of 30
feet or more.  That way, small dips and rises in the road won't make 
the accumulated climb numbers junk.

Thanks to rec.bicycles[.marketplace] for the info!
