OT, but back in my more involved digi photography days, I used to wish someone would rent color calibration hardware for monitors and printers. Never found one. These sell for about $1500.

A left sided PM crank would be relatively inexpensive and super easy to install, assuming there is one compatible with your crankset. You can of course have leg power imbalances, but for the purpose of estimating energy consumption that won't be enough to matter.

I think a power meter would be fun, but based on my use of the heart rate monitor (and even my cadence sensor) it just isn't worth the money. Plus I need to get new wheels first anyways as my old ones are getting noodly.
I wonder if there could be a business case for renting out power meters to non-racers like me who want to take a look but not invest. Swapping a crankset in would be pretty easy in many cases, pedal-based meters would be even easier.
