Overall Thoughts .............
If you already have the A500W=1A then unless you want keep the 500 in pristine condition theres no point....((((THAT IS THE ONLY REASON YOU WOULD BUY ONE OF THESE IF YOUR A COLLECTOR AND WANT TO KEEP YOUR A500 in pristine condition....)))) If your not bothered then stick with the a500....
The washed out lcd display is not as bad as the LF-20 but does fade slightly with direct viewing....
Other than that theres not much difference in these two pieces.....
Go check them out both cheap great world timers .....
