. I agree the science behind a PT is better than PE and HR. Maybe I'll put the PT ahead of the Ti bike on my wish list.
I would not know what it costs to support a mistress.
It just sounds expensive.
I suggest getting Allen / Coggan's book Training and Racing with a Power Meter. It is on Amazon and pretty cheap. It has a lot of great material with emphasis on racing. There is a very good discussion on the various benefits and shortcomings of different power meters.
I think a Ti bike with a crank based power meter is in order.
