PT 2.4 thoughts
I know I am probably going to get cr@p for posting this here, but the Road forum feedback sucks. 
So I apologize in advance as I know this is the best place to get this answered.
I am in the market for a new computer and eventually a PowerTap. Since I can not splurge on the PowerTap right now, I was curious if anyone has any feedback on the CycleOps Cervo 2.4 PRO?
Is it worth investing in the Cervo 2.4 knowing that hopefully by the end of the year I will move into a PowerTap or should I just buy a cheap computer and upgrade all at once? Has anyone out there done this or seen issues doing so? Thanks...

This is definitely the right place to ask questions about power meters. But I don't know anything about them.
You'll get an answer soon.

Standard 2.4 Cervo: $369
Does not come with HR strap - which is: $60
Only comes with one sensor (cadence or speed) - so to get both, another $50
So you're in for $479 for that much.
These individual parts are WAY overpriced considering they're part of the package of a PT hub setup new.

I can get the Cervo 2.4 which has the heart rate sensor and 2 sensors for speed and cadence for between $320 and $360. Would that be worth it?

Garmin 705 can be had for ~$350 and can receive ANT+ data from a variety of powermeters in the future.

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. It comes with the check-off sheet the wheel builder used with a signature on it which is Kinda cool considering the amount of wheels competitive probably sends out. I just used my Garmin edge heart rate strap, PT picked it up no problem. Total $687 w/shipping to so cal
