That's pretty much my response whenever I read a power meter review anywhere. The comments are always like "$1,500??? For what? This is 10 dollars of hardware and 25 dollars of tech in a 75 dollar crank/pedal/spindle/etc".
If you're not an athlete using them for training, someone wanting to use power for weight loss, or someone wanting to recover from an injury.... you wouldn't get it, and you're probably not the target market. If power meters, suspension handlebars, prostate-friendly saddles, etc. were needed by everyone, they'd be a heck of a lot cheaper.
Although when it comes to the push on grips, you actually save a bunch of money by running the renthal ultra tackys these days.
