Yes, all the training concepts map over.
I've spent years of my life on the C2, and recommended C2 in the thread linked to in this thread.
But after having recently spent a few weeks on a WaterRower, it really started to win me over. The power/split-time #'s are indistinguishable to me from what you'd get on a C2 - a 1:30 500m split feels exactly as painful to me.
And it *feels* a little more like real rowing, in my opinion. The feeling at the catch and the momentum is a little more boat-like.
That said, if you have any inclination to ever compete in indoor rowing, you have to get the C2.
