I don't understand the complaint about CT having "too many wires" when using it on Trainer Road or Zwift via a PC or MAC. Either utilizes ANT+ or BLE heart rate and cadence sensors so there are no additional wires for them. There is a power cord, but most all newer smart trainers have one as well. That leaves the cord to the head unit/PC. Essentially one wire with a head unit attached. ONE wire. For that you get no data drops. None.
TR and Zwift do require a CT with firmware version 45.43 or later, but that is a different issue.
Last, I see no reason to abandon the CT. The added cost is simply not worth it to me.
