Have had a HED Jet 9 with a powertap for about a year and a half now, generation 2. Wife and I share it. Has worked without problems so far, even survived a car crash and torrential rains. We use it for training, road racing, and put a wheel cover on it for time trials/multisport events.
We use the "little yellow computer" as a head unit which I dig because it is cheap, and aero shaped ;)
Have raised FTP from ~250 to ~270 in the last year with it. Pacing time trial efforts with it is a massive advantage. I've definitely improved my placing due to that, especially in events with a lot of wind and climbs which can make pacing optimally tricky to do by feel.

If you need a power meter that is going to be used on many bikes, a HED Jet wheel + wheel cover will work well for all situations. It is a nice setup.
