Be careful with option 3 if the powertap has 10,000km on it as eventually the bearings wear out and you generally need to send it back to Saris to have these replaced for $300.
LOL - no offence taken! My height and weight/build are good for a bunch of sports - just not ideal for this one...

Is the weight the only difference? The materials in the Elite+ aren't more prone to failure or corrosion?

Thanks
