Good choice.
Power = RPMs * torque
What that means is if you want to do 300 watts, or whatever other number, you can achieve it at pretty much any cadence you like. And what
that means is that knowing cadence and not torque vector is off very limited value at best, and potentially misleading at worst.
Power is what really matters.
