How much $ ?
Why not just get a real PM to start with and forget the pretend power meter ? A used PowerTap for $500 worked out quite well for me. Don't forget, that is a fully built wheel, not just a computer, and will hold decent resale value if you change your mind.
Another advantage of a real PM is you can use it on the trainer in the winter or bad weather and get some solid interval numbers.
