Power saved my bacon once, and only once in over 50K miles.
I was overtaking a car when someone was slowly approaching the road from a driveway - I just knew he wasn't going to stop.
He got onto the road as I was crossing back into the right lane, WOT.
Now that's too close for comfort to me.

My car will do 0-60 in like 12 seconds - going flat out.
Even a regeared bike will easily match that.
