$659.
Psimet can likely do something for you in that price range, and you'd have a handbuilt wheel, with the ability to choose your rim.
If you're going to just use the power meter in training, and don't mind the wires, it's a very cost effective option.
G -
You know I would get you set up if you're interested. I can't ad my prices out here - let's just say you would qualify as a "sponsored rider" meaning I have team and sponsored pricing you would qualify for.
That being said, Saris does not have the comp model on my 2010 OEM price list. The comp model is the WIRED version that Competitive Cyclist offers at a great price. FWIW - the comp model is ONLY available in a 32h version.
To echo some of what has been said here and to add my own opinion -
G - you have a lot of wheels already. i could probably get you set up on a PT wheel for less than you might expect, but it would be one wheel. We could build it as a race and training wheel, training only, race only, etc...your choice but it won't change a couple of key things - you will find you will want power during your races. You will have to train with power as well. Power is like crack. It's pull is stronger than any piece of carbon or other bicycle bling. Period.
With that in mind a "hook up" on a quarq would be what you should probably consider.
