1) you can get a good power meter for $600

2) If you spend the money for the Coach (i.e. personal trainer), you need the power data to share with the Coach to get the maximum value from the Coach

3)Read the book, and I think you'll realize there are a number of valuable things a power meter can tell you that a stop watch won't.
