That reminder is the only meaningful contribution I have on this topic.
The truth is not in the middle; HR and power are related. You keep talking about accuracy, presumably in the reporting of watts produced, but we don't know if that's what the OP is looking to do. They merely said they were studying the relationship of HR to Power. Whether the PowerCal is a good alternative to a direct force powermeter, which is what I think you're on about, is a matter of user requirements (i.e. required accuracy), but why put the cart before the horse?
