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

Wow the times they are a changing.

<future conversation in BigBucks...er uh StarBucks>
I'll have a Triple, Venti, Soy, No Foam Latte and instead of change I'll take a power meter.
