Yes I searched...

I just have a quick question for anyone with knowledge of the topic. I'm ready to fire on a power meter and have looked at pretty much every option and narrowed down to two.

Stages or Quarq Riken.

I've been trained by marketing and commercialism to believe that more money = better product, but in this case I am not entirely sure. I currently have a Dura Ace 7900 crank on my Madone. I'm inclined to keep that there if I can, which the Stages will allow, so that's intriguing to me. I'm curious though, about the data every 3 seconds deal... quarq is several times per second, no?

Anyway, I could ramble all day... can anyone convince me why I should spend almost twice as much on a Quarq when I'm reading that Stages gets the job done reliably? Tell me what I'd be missing if I got the Stages...

thanks, John.
