I have two Mandibles, I paid $50 and $55 for them which was about £30 ea at the time.
I’d struggle to justify more than that! On my Kinesis I have King Cage Iris which are a really nice stainless cage in fitting with the frame and don’t cost the earth.
TT has one of those cheap Elite cages, but the grip on the bottles is terrible, I haven’t lost a bottle but on rough roads it would likely happen.
Edit: After a 30 minute bedding in with some 800-1000w efforts on my TT.
I did a recalibration, did another 30 mins and the Quarq was tracking close to the Neo. 231w to 239w. There’s going to be some drivetrain loss as well as 1.5% accuracy error on both units. Quarq state 2-3 rides or sooner with hard efforts.
I think that looks to be pretty correct, as long as it is always that amount, DCrainmaker had a similar difference (3%) between his Riken and Powertap and obviously the Neo measures at the hub too.
