Bikes: Motobecane Fantom Cross; Cannondale Supersix replaced the Giant TCR which came to an untimely death by truck

I've had the PowerTap and now have the Stages solution. I have two bikes with the same crankset so it allows me to swap the cranks. Allows me to use different wheels as well.
The iBike Newton looks good but needs a firmware upgrade to allow indoor trainer use and another option to send the data to your Garmin

All told the iBike would cost me ~$750
Stages runs about the same

The recently shown at Interbike 4iiii $399 solution is similar to Stages in that it's a strain gauge attached to a crank but you attach it to your crank using epoxy. DC Rainmaker did a review

Another option to wait on is the Watteam PowerBeat which is both pedals for $499

Good luck
