I'm an Avocet devotee.  Still use the old Avocet 20 on my commute bike.
It remains the only reliable computer I know of with all the essential
features (speed, trip distance, total distance, 24 hour timer (can be
used as a clock) in a large top level display.

I also use an Avocet 50 on my long distance bike.  Altitude has more
than toy value to the long distance rider:

1. You can tell when you are getting near the top of a pass based on
what your altitude is.  This works suprisingly acurately.

2. For those who log training data, total altitude gain useful addition to
total miles.

3. It's fun to know how many miles you climbed in one ride ((:
