Stages is fine. I'm happy with mine and the battery life thing is not something I have experienced in over a year of use. Previously had a powertap g3, which was fine but my experience with them is that they are quite fragile and tempremental.. They are also horrible hubs for spoke tension etc.
Pretty much every pm has a known issue (from tech stuff to cost) - just depends how much money you have I guess. I would love a track SRM or a p2m but I simply don't have the money.
