My 2 cents, for the cost, Stages is a great product. However I'd probably go with a p/t for a tad bit more.
Yeah, but think about this:

Even in your situation, with a known (injury caused?) power imbalance - what specifically would a PowerTap tell you about your left/right power balance that a Stages unit wouldn't?

Further, how would "limiting" yourself to a Stages unit instead of a PowerTap impact your training? I don't see how it would, even in your situation.
