Talked about this a little today (amongst a great many other things).

He said its actually a really good system and their fit bike is excellent, one of the best. The biggest problem is that the whole thing is too expensive, most shops just can't afford it. So its kind of gone nowhere.

He also said that its not really clear that the power meter currently for sale to consumers is actually the same meter they have on the fit bike. If it is, its likely a good meter. But reading between the lines, it sounded like there is some speculation as to whether the power meter is more "modeled after" the original Shimano fit bike power meter than being identical.

Interesting.
