The P2M will fit a GXP S900. I've no experience of the Elsa, but I have got a couple of Rikens. One died and had to go back to Mr. Quarq to be fixed, but this was reasonably stress-free and was for free as it was inside the 2 year warranty period. However, my P2Ms have always just worked, and so that puts them ahead in my books.
I've no experience of the Pioneer or Infocrank, but I'm sceptical about the need for L/R balance data. Just not sure what you'd actually do with the data. My P2Ms give estimated L/R balance, but I've never really used it.
I need some advice...I'm getting closer to jumping into PM land. Atm these are my options...
-S900 crank with P2M or Quarq Elsa (will a P2M bit a GXP S900?)
-Pioneer
-Infocrank
Pioneer and Infocrank will set me back around the same amount of money, and is true L/R. S900 combo will set me back about AUD500 less, and the P2M batteries are hard to find in Australia I think, unless you order a bunch from P2M AU.
What do you guys recommend? I recall Hunter Allen seeming to emphasise the need for true L/R PMs??
