OK...I just purchased my first Powertap setup. I have always trained referencing HR only. So which is better, the HR monitoring or power monitoring? I'm open or all input on this so I can get the most out of this expensive training tool.

Since you have a powertap, you can now download cyclingpeaks. Then you'll be monitoring both.
One tells you about the work you actually did. And the other gives some insight about how your body responded to what you did. It's like a highway compared to a one way. 🙂

Power. No question.
Suggest some reading of the excellent references listed at this site which will get you started, then maybe come back with some questions after that....
