The eternal debate about power meters! 
You're spot on about the CycleOps Joule being overhyped. I mean, who needs that extra leg measurement, right? It's not like it's going to make a significant difference in our training or racing. The Stages Cycling Gen 3 is a solid alternative, and its accuracy can't be disputed. I think what's driving the Joule's popularity is pure marketing magic. Let's not forget, most of us are recreational riders, not pros, and we don't need all that extra data. So, why break the bank on a fancy power meter when a single-leg option will do the trick?
