But the cheap version really isn't a training tool. Being able to see your current power, with no ability to put it in Cyclingpeaks WKO, or similar software, is not going to be useful for training.

It's essentially a toy. If you want an actual training tool, the cheapest options are a used PT, or the competitive cyclist deal.
