I have read this months issue of 220 and was intrigued by the article about power meters. I understand the scientific concept behind using power meters through training but I also have a few questions.
Has anybody purchased a power meter, if so how much was it and would you recommend one?
How difficult/easy are they to set up on the bike?
Are there any specific brands/products that i should be looking at?
I understand that power meters are very expensive so I have been looking into monthly rental via www.cyclingpowermeters.com, has anyone used this website before and the rental facility, is so would you recommend it?
Any help would be great

I dare say that they are necessary kit for any fulltime/elite cyclist or triathlete
To choose between the two, you want to look at the compromises between them. With the SRM, its built into the crank, so great if you have a set of training wheels on your bike, and put some race wheels on for the big day, its still gonna work! Obviously this wont work for the powertap (unless both your training wheels and race wheels have one), but the advantage of these is that if you have a training bike and a racing bike, you can just switch the wheels between the 2, darn site easier than swapping out the cranks
