Is it worth upgrading from 520+ to 1030?

I use regular gloves all the time with the 1030 without issue. Thicker gloves are a pain, but you don't need conductive gloves.

Well, I did it.  Now it's time to learn how to use the 1030 and do the first ride.

Do you guys use a screen protector with your 1030? if so, where did you get it?

I don't. I never damaged a Edge device screen. However I got the rubber protector from garmin. That protecs the device if you drop it. And I also use the dragone that comes with the Edge. I tie it to the handlebar. So if the Edge comes undone from the mount it does not fall off. 

Riding with heavy gloves in winter can be a  problem with changing screens. If you have Di2 shifting though, the buttons on top of the hoods can be programmed to change screens with just a press.

I don't have. screen protector, but I do have a rubber case. This protects it from minor bumps and, most importantly, gives a bit of a lip around the edge... so if you put the unit face down on a table, the screen doesn't touch the surface and avoid getting scratched.
