I understand that Stages is a bit of a bastard thing, and the figures they spit out aren't a perfect mapping of irl power
So, why not save a wad of cash and let strava do the guessing?
if the data is close enough
Therein lies the issue. If you're not actually concerned with accuracy, why bother?
All my cycling is on a pretty tight budget
dafuq are you looking at powermeters for then?

I am literally buying a PM to get more data on Strava, I am target market.
I understand that Stages is a bit of a bastard thing, and the figures they spit out aren't a perfect mapping of irl power, but if it's moderately reliable I don't see what everyone's issue is? I'm loathe to describe it as snobbishness, but if the data is close enough, I don't see why what works for the sportive tosser wouldn't work for anyone else.
All my cycling is on a pretty tight budget atm, and all I hear from P2M and Powertap is people sending them back for calibration, and if that's how my future looks I'd rather have one crank (and it's replacement) than send my spider or a rear wheel off...
