Ct is nice but I sold mine to buy a kickr and don't regret it. The wahoo plays well with so many 3rd party sites and is decades ahead in terms of software. Can't go wrong with either but I would choose the kickr again and again.I gotta say, I don't entirely understand this "kickr has better software" idea.
The kickr doesn't come with _any_ built-in software other than the little wahoo control app for your phone (which is equivalent to the sweatproof controller for the CT). The racermate stuff might be a bit dated, but at least you can do simulated rides and workouts with it out of the box.
Zwift, Trainerroad, PerfPro, Tour de Giro, Bkool will all work with both, so the 3rd-party support is equal. As a developer, I can tell you the CT is much easier to work with and far more reliable in terms of getting connected and staying connected.
Addendum: After 4 months of 2-3 hours/week this winter, my kickr is broken. My CT suffered through much, much worse and is still going strong.
