There are lots of possibilities. Some people like the wheel option better (each location has its own pros and cons). Maybe he likes a certain crank that Stages isn't compatible with. Maybe he likes that PowerTaps have been around a lot longer and have a good track record.
Maybe he does trust PT's data more. But you can't really assume that from what he said.
