Default powertap PRO vs SL (bearings/cones)

How are the bearings/cones on the SL model? Are they cheap like the ones on the Pro model? Any problems?

sealed bearings on the SL... heaps better... the PRO is a joke, made very unfunny by the price you pay for such crappy bearings

That makes my decision much easier. I use to have the Pro, and had a lot of problems with the bearings.
