Crank based powermeters
Discussion
What is currently the most stable/reliable crank based powermeter?
I am close to buying the new Rotor system but know that there have been some issues in the early ones and dont want to be stuck with something that needs lots of return trips to the shop. SRM and power2max are also options but the former is a fair chunk of cash. I use a Powertap currently but want to fit a crank system to the TT bike which will free up the Powertap for everything else.

I'm going for a power2max myself as hearing good things about them after the firmware update. You can also just buy the power meter (minus cranks) if you have compatible cranks like Rotor 3D's.

SRM is as said the oldest and most established, but also the least user friendly, you have to send it back to them to change the battery for example.
Nearly everyone I ride with now has a powermeter, and I have to say that the p2m does seem good value and indeed has been giving my clubmates reliable figures for a decent price. Qaurq I have has been fine since I bought it, no complaints from me on it, but again these brand new are pricey at over a grand. But on p2m and qaurq you can at least change the battery in about 10 seconds at home.
