I've used both as well (CT and Kickr). Going into my third winter with the kickr.
They did send me one replacement early on due to inconsistent power readings, but since then, pretty smooth sailing. I do believe it reports elevated numbers compared to my crank PM, but as long as it is consistent, I really don't care.
With the Computrainer, I actually don't mind the wires. What I don't really like is the 10-15 minute warmup needed, the calibration and roller adjustment needed every time, and the rear wheel system. I like that the kickr doesn't use a rear wheel/roller system, and doesn't appear to need a warmup.
But if you truly value consistent data, then I too would probably go with a CT.
