So I have a wad full of cash and am wanting to buy BUT imho the power taps are old tech and will need to drop their price to remain competitive with the new Garmins.

I guess it’s a new set of carbon wheels then :)
Maybe.

But. The P1 pedals have had the price dropped recently. And they’re rock solid. Mine are 2 years old, 000’s of kms on them and they don’t miss a beat.

How much were they previously? Looking at Wiggle for example they are $1,381. The Garmins can be had for $1,292!

They were originally $1200 USD, then $1000, now $800, and that's assuming no discounts (and there have been various discount opportunities).

Favero user here.
I love them. Easy to install, cheap and they work flawlessly with both Garmin 800 and 820.
