I like the idea of Stages (easy, and can change wheels) but this is much cheaper.
Or... wireless wheelset. More expensive, but I dented my front rim and should get a wheel anyway before something bad happens.
I dont like any type of "guessing" or any source of inaccuracy in my power measurements, so the stages in my mind is out, especially considering how my left leg is the stronger leg, and the leg. So say i went out and did some sprints, and just lead with my left leg only, and got huge numbers, those wouldn't be comparable to a day when i did sprints that started with my right leg.
Go with a cheap ptap wheel. You wont regret it (plus who cares about fancy wheels when you can have power
. I used to ride around with one front aero wheel and a ptap rear wheel. It never slowed me down).
