I did a lot of reading before buying the "InRide" power meter for my Rock and Roll trainer.
For $50, I added on a "power meter" that has been shown to be very accurate.
I don't think in any way I would be "much better off" with a $600 Stages unit for my indoor winter riding.
It's a known fact and has been proven many times with people that have done extensive tests that the "virtual curve" power meters aren't accurate, that was my point about the B+ meter as that it's not a real power meter.
Fluid resistance is nice, but if you want to use things like zwift you need feedback that the electronically controlled trainers provide you .
What's this $50 power meter you've added?
