[Closed] Bike computer recommendation and wireless interference question

I don't usually bother with a computer on the MTB but I'm thinking of getting one to help with pacing on the Kielder 100.

I use a Cateye Strada double wireless (i.e. with cadence) on the road bike so was thinking of the single wireless version for the MTB, however I noticed on the Dunwich Dynamo that it seemed to lose signal when I had my [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25149 ]DX "Bastid" light[/url] turned on. My Joystick didn't seem to affect it, so is this just a problem with that particular light, or are some bike computers affected worse than others?

Ideally I'd like to hear from someone succesfully using a wireless speedo with the same light - anyone?

My Hope LED light causes my Cateye wireless to wobble : (

I stopped using the computer eventually - I've read (here?) that the LED circuits can cause interference with wireless bike computers

Bump for daytimers - any other experiences?

I got bored of changeing the batteries in wireless computers, they always seemed to be an odd size and go flat in a few months. Wired ones lasted years, dont pick up interferance to the same extent, also weigh and cost less.
