well and you can use any wheel you want, but I don't care about that much.

I think it might be a little early, given that it was released to the public today, to be saying one product is inferior to the other. Time will tell on multiple fronts as to what the superior product is. And this is coming from someone who bought a powertap two months ago, has no plan on upgrading, and has nothing but positive experiences with the hardware of the powertap. (the software is a different case all together, but that is an easily changed thing, I just need to bite the bullet)Curious why you think it's inferior, Jack? It may not meet the gold standard for field testing of aero and crr, but for the majority of powermeter users, that's probably not a primary concern. To discount 100% wheel compatibility is ridiculous, too. You're also leaving out BB/crank compatibility, which is a pain in the ass and very nice not to have to think of.
I can't think of another powermeter that's more universally compatible than the Vectors except maybe the iBike, and that doesn't really count...
