How far off is GPS altitude?

Today I went for a ride with the Sigma Rox 8. Accord to Rox, the total ascent was 1166 feet. Cyclemeter says 957 feet ascent, which means 1166 - 957 = 209 feet off. I'm inclined to trust Rox over cyclemeter for the ascent. Here's a picture of some of the values from Rox.




Overall, I am pretty happy with Rox 8 so far. Unlike the VDO unit, Rox worked just fine in 25 degree weather. The heart rate monitor also worked well.
