This. Its a small market and crowded. My experience with a few Stages was that they were "ok" but I'd rather have a crank based pm.
Now that you can buy a crank based rechargeable Asian pm for less than a Stages it no longer made sense to buy the Stages. I won't miss the unit, but it does suck for those involved.
