I have both the cadence and the speed sensors. They're built into one nifty receiver that you position halfway between the peddles and wheel spokes so both cross over. I also got the powertap but haven't had it installed yet.
I love the cadence, but that's only because I'm just starting out again, and it helps me to gauge my speed. If you have your rhythm down tho, there wouldn't be much need to get it. I do believe you can add it after the fact tho, so no worries if you change your mind.
