It matters quite a lot.
In my case my left leg was always "a bit lazy".
When I try to do single leg drills, right leg is very smooth, but left one feels like pedaling squares.
On my Assiomas measured L/R balance is 45/55 (also confirmed on friends Garmin Vectors).
But spider based power meter reports L/R balance at 53/47.
I assume that because my left leg does almost no pulling, and right one does some, the interpretation is completely wrong in the end.
So yeah, L/R estimation on anything that is not pedal or crank based, is completely useless.
