I'm shopping for a fluid trainer - like the looks of CycleOps and Kurt Kinetic - both around $400 - I'd like to get opinions on these two or any others that might be comparable or better.

I highly recommend it. Very reliable, strong, simple, and as quiet as a trainer can be. The good feature is that it's very smooth and the drag/resistance is as close to a road as you will get.
+ good customer base.
My .02 cents

jollyrogers said:I have both (and a Kinetic Pro as well). Much prefer the KK. The Pro comes with a second 12 pound flywheel that really provides a road-like feel. I think that the 2010 Road Machine's flywheel is machined to take the additional flywheel as well for ~$89 upgrade price. Well worth it IMO.
