If stages is 30 seconds P2m is about 1 min 30 seconds IF used with rotor 3D (24mm axle). Provided you dont have to swap rings.
8mm allen key to take out the security bolt (3 revolutions); 5mm allen key to release the pinch bolt (this is what rotor calls DTT; 5nm 5 revolutions); nails to take the rubber washer; repeat in reverse on other bike.

@Hovis I have Stages; I had a PowerTap before - I can't say that I have noticed any difference between them in terms of accuracy and performance.
The main benefit of Stages for me was it literally takes 30 seconds to swap between bikes, and also that I can use it at the track and on the road. P2m users will say that it's easy to swap between bikes, but undoing one bolt and doing it up again is so much easier than swapping spiders and rings etc.
It also means that I am no longer relying on one (heavy) wheel to do everything. Bonus.
