Speeding Up

Hi,
I have: Sigma STS 1609 ( 3 years ) and Garmin Edge 500 (new toy - just over a week),
I have installed the Garmin + Speed/Cadence sensor, but I just can't say goodbye to Sigma, so what I did - was to move the Sigma's speed sensor to the chainstay next to Garmin and tried to use the same magnet - and:
Garmin's magnet doesn't trigger sigma unless it's almost touching it
Sigma's magnet does trigger Garmin but the speed reading is intermittent (losing about 30-40% of the reading - when imported to Strava, 70km route became 40km, and 17km became 12km) - I noticed that late because for the whole day I had Course map on and didn't even look at speed readings.
Do you guys have any experiences with various magnets ? - I want to keep the Sigma (at least for some indefinite time), and ideally use single spoke magnet for both (not that's it's so important but you know - two magnets will mess up the centrifugal force of my wheel )
(I still have Sigma cadence magnet - and this one works fine with Garmin).
Cheers
