Stages users getting stressed about people who've "never used left leg only power meters before" probably don't even know about Ergomos back in the day. Everyone understood the limitations of left leg only meters back then, it's just the Team Sky fankids that don't want to hear it's a bad idea.
I've used all the major power meter players but even if I hadn't there are reams of data to show the inaccuracy of left leg only power data. Not the meters themselves, that's a separate issue and Stages are fine from a hardware point of view, it's the concept which is entirely incorrect at their current price point. It's not a budget option (same for Rotor one sided, Garmin etc), as they're not cheap enough for the massive hit in data quality.
Rant.
