I am looking at purchasing a standard powertap on ebay as they seem to go for cheap. Other than the crappy HR monitor and the estimated cadence, are there any downsides to the powertap standard? I do not want to spend more than 1050$ on a powermeter built into a wheel (it would be preferred to have a matching front wheel as well) and also have a copy of cyclingpeaks wko+. I have found some of the PT standards go on ebay for around 300$ built into a wheel used. For that price I could afford wko+ and could afford a better wheelset. The other option would be to try to find a PT pro or sl for around 700$ on ebay and match it to a set of reynolds alta race wheels for around 220$ and then use the rest of the cash for wko+. Ultimately this would exhaust my budget. If I can use my old cateye to get accurate cadence, would there be any downside to saving a ton of cash and just getting a used powertap standard?
