To that effect, I think my only option is getting power meter crank arms but that's going to be expensive for both a road and gravel bike. The other issue is that I haven't found a GRX 600 (Trek Checkpoint SL5) specific power meter that will have enough clearance with the frame since there less than 1cm of space. I'm going to check with the Bike Shop on Monday if they think this might work: https://www.thebikeshop.com/product/...r-389576-1.htm
All testing points to realistically no power difference between clipless and flat anyway, just a change in your technique and in some cases even faster.

Apparently the GRX800 crank arm works fine on a GRX600 system, just the inside where the power meter mounts is different, so that can be used with a 4iiii if it fits (frame clearance). Other options are discussed in this thread.
