You can get the previous-gen power2Max Type S for significantly less than these prices. The Rotor 3D models are much nicer than the FSA Gossamer, but even the carbon-crank FSA version is under a thousand euros. The Type S is pretty damn great, and I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up at those prices (I ride the original p2m and it's great).

Answering a few comments here...
Power2Max would be great - either one of Rotor 3D, FSA K-Force Light or FSA Gossamer - but I'm having difficulty deciphering the types of BBs. My TM02 has a PF86. I've read that this is the same as BB86 and other places say that BB386EVO cranks will fit. Looking to the PMs, the Type S Rotor 3D is compatible with BB86 Pressfit. I believe this will NOT work. The K-Force Light and FSA Gossamer are compatible with BB86 and BB386EVO. I believe these WILL work. Is that correct?
amos, if I were to get a Pioneer, don't they all come with either dual leg or non-drive side cranks? Are you suggesting buying the dual leg and not installing the other crank?
Skip, I didn't contact Stages prior to the purchase, but I did speak to several LBS and none brought up this issue. Perhaps they assumed I have the integrated BMC brakes found on the TM01. Stages was helpful in providing suggestions for alternative brakes, but I decided not to go that route.
