My Polar PM cost me £150. It's wired and messy to fit and the reading drops out occasionally but it works and my fitness has been transformed since I started training with power this year, more than I ever imagined. The polar was reduced in price because it had been superceded by a better model. I've also seen powertaps being sold off cheap when newer models come out (e.g. wired versions when wireless ones came out). If you keep a lookout and don't need the latest and best (you don't) then you can get a real power meter without paying silly money. Using a previous generation PM is better than using none at all. +1 that you can get a decent power meter at low cost. My Polar PM cost me £150.
