I myself shall be managing without for a little longer.
I've got the odd grand lying around but don't have enough left over for a new pair of cleats.
Hoping the more accessible nature of a pedal based system will prompt good uptake from those who can stretch to cleats also. I will then wait in line for economies of scale to kick in. Expect to buy a pair for a fiver around Xmas.
I don't quite see the point in a two pedal torque measurement system, pretty sure ANT+ doesn't transmit fast enough to pick up left/right imbalances and you have twice as much to go wrong. Does it revert to single pedal torque measurement when one battery dies?
A single torque measuring pedal and a dumb pedal would be almost half the price.

That wouldn't give L/R balance though (not that it's all that useful). If you want cheap then look at the Stages and hope that you don't have a L/R imbalance that introduces a significant error (that may change based on e.g. fatigue).
A single side Vector wouldn't be cheaper anyway - the pricing is based on what people will pay and not what they cost to manufacture.
I wonder if it will still give some sort of data if only one pedal is functioning.... And if so, could you buy a pair and split them between 2 people..... Unlikely I know but will be interesting to see what can be done with them!

And the cost for research/development which it would appear has taken them a hell of a long time. Obviously this cost is the same whether you sell the customer 1 or 2 pedals aswell.

No, this isn't possible as the left-hand pedal is essentially an axillary pedal in terms of the ANT+ signal, the main signal comes from the right-hand pedal to your headunit.

momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
