I have been looking at trainers and specifically ergotrainers. It seems that Tacx has the best combination of reputation and price for those looking for both wattage information and wattage setting (i.e. trainers that make you ride X watts whether you like it or not).
In their pure ergotrainer models (no virtual reality stuff), they list the Flow (~$400) and the Cosmos (~$800). A quick read suggests the Cosmos has a nicer display and greater programmibility, but in terms of watts, both trainers spec 10-990W. I suspect that the calibration on the Cosmos is superior, but I don’t know for sure.
Anyone have experience with these? Is the Cosmos worth twice the price?
