Ben Sharp of Stages Cycling
I interview Ben Sharp of Stages Cycling about the Stages Power Meter.  Ben was a coach for USA Cycling from 2007 to 2013 before joining Stages.  The Stages Power Meter runs $700-$900 plus a head unit, such as a Garmin or even an iPhone.

I was an SRM user and I did this interview because I was genuinely curious about this lower cost power meter.  I came away persuaded that it is an excellent option. Ben points out some of the advantages:

Lower cost
Easy  assembly and setup.
It can easily be switched between bikes.
Simple maintenance and firmware updates

Ben stated that accuracy is within 2%.  Power is measured only from the left crank.
