Re: Polar HRM, scratch the power option (not much of an option really). There was a review on the powertap vs SRM vs polar, and the conclusion was that the polar was nearly worthless for power metering as it variated so much If you're serious about power training, the powertap iis the lowest end i'd hit.

For HRM, I was very close to getting the CS200 as it included computer download and record function with heart rate/speed and all the fun bits (not via soniclink).
