Integrated Garmin / Wahoo mount - options

I'm looking to get a mount for my Garmin for a new Tarmac build, trying to keep everything as neat and integrated as possible.
The best one I've seen so far is the F3 Cycling Form Mount: https://www.f3cycling.com/formmount
Looks perfect, sturdy, unobtrusive, nice colour highlight options and the option to add a light mount underneath - with the bonus of being Garmin and Wahoo compatible, as I'm hoping to upgrade to the Elemnt Bolt at some stage.
Only problem is by the time I added a couple of options to the cart, the total was up to $85..... :shock:
Just wondering if anyone has seen or used any other similar models out there at a slightly more sensible price?!
Any options much appreciated.

The Bolt comes with an aero mount and is lighter than anything else on the market mount wise. You'd be better off just using a separate mount for anything else.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0

What's wrong with the clip and the o rings round your stem ?
Nice and simple.0 -

Nothing wrong with it as such Cougie - I just prefer the computer out in front of the stem and trying to find the most elegant solution for it.The Bolt comes with an aero mount and is lighter than anything else on the market mount wise.

Yes, seen that ok - still means clamping something around the handlebars, which I'm trying not to do if I can help it.
I'm building up the best bike I'm ever likely to own and trying to make everything look as sleek as I possibly can - a mount using the stem plate at the front looks by far the best solution to me - if the F3 was a bit cheaper I wouldn't hesitate....just seems crazy money for a bit of plastic.0 -
If you want it to look as sleek as possible, avoid bolting anything to it other than your computer. Lights; go for some that you can secure with rubber securing bands as and when you need them and leave them at home the rest of the time. Cameras; why bother unless you want footage of someone that hits you and in which case, I'd say rear mounted.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0

What stem have you got? These are great for Fizik or 3T (with a separate face plate).
Very light weight and tidy but can't take Wahoo and you can't hang anything underneath:

Interchangeable mounts so can take Wahoo and any manner of things you want to hang underneath:

Not necessarily a permanent solution but if you fancy something a bit flash for a Garmin and using face plate as the mount i’d reccomend one of these. Full carbon mount under a tenner. It’ll take a couple of weeks to get to you though across the China sea. I had one and couldn’t believe how good the quality was for the price. It’s the only thing I miss from the Garmin when I upgraded to the bolt!
