Those are the ones you could buy today (can't buy Pioneer online as far as I know). More are on the way.
Is the Rotor 3D+ the same as the Power2Max? It sure seems to have a similar feature set, and Power2Max units all seem to be on Rotor cranks. Power2Max claims they estimate left/right balance:

power2max Features - power2max North America

Your power2max power meter estimates the contribution of your left and right leg as your ride. This offers useful additional information for your training.
The Pioneer units look interesting, but I do wonder about the accuracy of strain gauges zip-tied to crank arms. There's not much consistency from the manufacturer in THAT process... And the "special training" DCRainMaker mentions to install, using a special weight to calibrate it? Why would I want to pay $1500-$1800 for that?
