Okay, I think I am ready to pull the trigger on the dual sided assiomas today. Based on all the help here, it sounds like I shouldn’t have any issues switching between them and my traditional looks as far as fit and Q factor, assuming I actually get the look ones and not the Shimano ones lol. For one last verification here’s a picture of my current looks on my BMC. If they don’t fit right I’m blaming the forum!;
Fair.

I finally received my pedals, and got them installed. I have only had a couple rides on them, but everything feels great. For anyone who has used these before, have you had any issues with calibration? I calibrated them through the app, and I do so through my wahoo head unit each ride. However, it feels like power numbers are reading lower than they should based on my two other power sources. Every time I calibrate it says zero torque offset. My other power meters would give a number like 876, and would very a little bit each ride depending on weather conditions and so on. Any idea if that’s how these are supposed to zero out?
Per the manual:

Thanks for the help @mcneese.chad but I think I have a legit problem with them.
I have felt like the pedals are reading really low despite checking everything (factory calibration, then the 0 offset calibration each ride, checking crank length in the app, etc).
I decided to really test the pedals in an apples to apples comparison on a climb that I have done literally hundreds of times (it’s the one I am using for Everesting prep). With my other power meters the climb takes me about 4:15-4:30 at around 330 watts. Bumping the wattage up to 342 gets me a time of 4:12 or so.
I went out today on the new pedals and set out to ride at 342, then 330, testing my times for both. The 342 wattage got me a time of 3:30. THAT’S 45 SECONDS FASTER ON A FOUR MINUTE CLIMB! I then went back down, grabbed my backpack that toatled five bottles, all my equipment, food, phone, etc (meaning I weight a lot more) and did it at 330. I should mention there was a blistering headwind today when my other attempts were in neutral/warm weather. At 330 I did it in 3:45, another 30 to 45 seconds faster!
I’m going to contact Favero support, but has anyone experienced something like this with the pedals? I really felt like my power has been down since I used them, but I’m beginning to think it’s not me, it’s the pedals. No wonder I’ve felt completely wiped out after my outdoor workouts the past two weeks 
My test ride today is still trying to upload, but here is a picture of when I did it on my other bike with the known power meter:
Did you ever resolve the issue?
My Assiomas read perfectly well, in agreement with power2max spider power Meter and a Direto XR-T Trainer – in both cases used simultaneously…
Maybe your other PM is reading high?
Like old Stages, etc.
I thought that my assioma duos were a fraction lower than expected compared to my quarq so I did some research. I have a quarq dzero on my gravel bike and a Tacx neo 1. I put them all on the same indoor bike and tested for a few weeks. Took the bike outside and did some more tests and found the duos were around 3% lower than my quarqs. The Tacx neo 1 (low flywheel speed) was spot on with the assiomas.
I adjusted the slope of the quarqs and tested for a few months both indoors and outdoors and found them to be as close to a perfect match to my duos and Tacx.
I guess what I’m saying is that your duos might be reading low, or your other sources might just be reading high.
